"Alberto the Time Lord"

[Maxiton]

Just read a particularly tasty article by Yahoo/Eurosport's Blazin Saddles. Hit the link for the whole thing but here are a couple of snippets:

"Talk about having guts: Alberto Contador, at the start of Thursday's stage in Epernay, waltzed in to the RadioShack team bus unannounced and unflanked by bodyguards to confront his two biggest enemies, the men who had made his life a misery at Astana last year.

<snip>

. . ."the Spaniard came bearing gifts for Lance and Johan - trinkets of appreciation for their roles in helping him win last year's Tour.

<snip>

" 'I didn't speak to him,' admitted the seven-time champ. 'I was in the back of the bus. I didn't see him. I was in the middle of something else.'

Maybe that explains his 10.34am tweet: 'There's a foul smell in the bus all of a sudden.'"

Definitely worth the read. Contador is showing the colors of a great champion. Armstrong . . . well, just read the article.

On paper, it seemed about as good an idea as Peter Perfect climbing into the same wacky flying machine as Dastardly and Muttley.
the Spaniard came bearing gifts for Lance and Johan - trinkets of appreciation for their roles in helping him win last year's Tour.

contador shows what a grand person he is.

Excellent mind games by Contador. The dude really is the complete cyclist.

 

[woodie]

That article is complete bias and (as far as im concerned) holds no credibility what so ever.

Blazin' Saddles is pretty funny, especially liked his 2010 Tour Prophecy.

This one is good as well. Check out the fantasy Lance Armstrong pre-Tour pep talk on the first page.

Childish behaviour by a really bad and egocentric loser.

Danish media independently report that Armstrong was the only team member that did not "see" that last years Tour de France winner had entered the team bus. He will not do well on the downhills, with that degree of presbyopia.

'There's a foul smell in the bus all of a sudden.'"

Thats probably Armstrongs own breath he's smellin!

Blazin' Saddles is pretty funny, especially liked his 2010 Tour Prophecy.

And it's eerily accurate to. He predicts a crash from oil on the road:

"The flashpoint of a windy stage is a mini pile up which sees reigning champion Alberto Contador lose 10 minutes after a nasty fall. The episode happened when HTC-Columbia took advantage of the gusty conditions to force a break in the peloton. The Spaniard was part of a leading group which all hit the deck after some oil - in all likelihood washed up from the Gulf of Mexico - made the road surface slippery. "

Yes Armstrong is usually a donkey, but just so it's clear to everyone that the article was meant as a joke: Armstrong did not tweet anything about a foul smell, nor did he put up the watch on eBay.

Watched

AC gave a sincere congrats to JB when he won the Dauphin last month.
This gesture was probably just as sincere.

Yet the giving of watches could be slightly misconstrued:
- now RS guys can tell exactly how far behind they are!

Also Karpets cutting off his mullet! Now he just needs to be right about EBH being 'outed as cycling's first robot'...

I thought it was that the grapes in the Radioshack fruit bowl had grown incredibly sour.

i love that some people really believe its true lol

Those riders had already gotten their watches last year

 

[hfer07]

maybe the watches mean that "time is running out" for them.....

The other 7 teammates had received their watches last year--he's on good terms with most, if not all of them, save Lance of course. His timing was pretty dam good if you ask me.

 

[alberto.legstrong]

watch wasn't only gift

He just couldn't get the rocking chair through the door of the bus.

He also bought Lance a car in case they run out of team cars at the hotel.

Lance has to be wondering how AC is gonna put his other foot up his @ss.

It is amazing to me how two different sources view the same event.

The watches were given out to the rest of the team at the victory party last year. The two who didn't attend the party didn't get their watches until now.
