By how much will Alberto Contador Velasco win la Vuelta a España?

[Carols]

IIRC, he suffered from hunger knock last year at Galibier as well, or it was just an excuse

He did? Never heard that one......he was injured and fatigued; didn't hear about hunger knock.

Think Contador's lack of racing is starting to show. No podium?

Depends on whether it was really dehydration and cramp. If it was and he recovers well, he can still be a factor. If it is lack of competition that's another story entirely.

Guess we'll have to wait and see!

I think it's lack of competition. Tdf 2011 was his last race 13 month ago. Tour de San Luis was an amateur race for him. If I were Froome I will go for it Saturday in Andorra.

The good news for Contador it's he will be perfect at world at least.

Oh, really? Thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't noticed he still can be a factor ...

So far at least Purito Alberto and Froome look better than them.

I think it will be:

Alberto
Froome +1'30"
Purito +2'50"
Gesink +3'30"
Mollema +4'30"

Of course there are still a lot of things that can happen like crashes bonking etc.

Hehe! I'll put in my bets on this combo:
Froome
Purito +1'30"
Alberto +1'35"

Contador will not even make podium.

why you say so?
