Is I-don't-remember-who-tbh gonna argue Alberto doesn't write his own tweets again?

"Sometimes legs hurts a lot,but the most important is enjoy with your job.Here Nicki, Benja and me "

Fran's English and especially grammar is much better.

(I do suspect some google translate though )

Now I know why Noval is on the team. He's the funny guy.

He seems like a cool dude.

Looks like Berto's making the joke.

Nicki doesn't seem to think it is a good one though. Or he's looking at Noval's fat *** and thinking "**** why didn't I fall on top of him?!"

Saxo Bank - Tinkoff Bank and Alberto Contador confirmed for the Tour de San Luis 2013.

Noval on that pic cracked a joke about what it takes to get a engine like his going. Sometimes the guys have their nutrition and sometimes they dont depending on the current Noval hunger state. Apparently Niki Sörensen, licking his lips behind, was left without.

I really hope he will ride T-A next year also! It was such a shame he didn't this year
In general I hope he will go for stage races he haven't already won (Like Romandie)

I think he will, he wants to have as much different races on his palmares as possible I think

Here the source (audio) in spanish, he sounds exhausted

Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank captain explains:

“I'm happy because I saved the day quite well. Due to the heat and the high temperatures, I suffered some cramps on the last climb and I told myself, hey, Alberto, go as far you can. I think I managed quite well. For me it's not the best climb but normally I would have been in front without any problems even to fight for the stage but I'm happy because the loss has however been minimal”, said Alberto Contador and concluded:

“I like the action of this race because it is important for everyone that the favorites attack. It's good for the race and I'm looking forward to my opportunity later on in the Vuelta.”

 

[No_Balls]

Sounds optimistic and good. This aint over.

 

[Carols]

I thought he wasn't looking to good even when his own team was on the front....afterwards he was just fighting to maintain his place all the way up the climb

Long way to go, hopefully it was just heat/cramps and he can bounce back. Needs good recovery tonight!

Where did you learn that?
For how long is she banned?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Where did you learn that? Twitter
For how long is she banned?No idea

24 hours.

The banning order reads like a 19th century doctor's diagnosis of hysteria. Tend to agree.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Okay, that was a bit.. I don't know.. wierd. In a positive way. Alberto was just on live on danish tv. Usually they can't get an interview of any riders but the danish ones. But Alberto did it all live, in english and he was super happy with great responses. First time I've seen that. Happy about his performance and his goal is, obviously, still to win the Vuelta (yeah, the interviwer is as thick as Alberto's responses suggests..)

Pretty cool.
