No surprise but Contador spokesman Jacinto Vidarte confirms he will ride the Tour:

66% of the french said they'd rather not have contador in the tour de france.. Personally I wouldnt like it either, but he has all rights to do so.

I'm sure 100% of the Schlecks would rather not have him in the race either

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

ehh.

Dislike this news, I hope he shows us he is human and shows signs of giro fatigue.

No schleck wants him to be in the race so that he can beat him and get his revenge.

Boo this, man. Boo this.

Oh gawd. That isn't a veiled reference to Andy's inability to shift his bike is it? Give it a rest.

As I said in the other thread this is Andy's best chance to beat AC and that has more to do with AC (coming off the Giro) than it does with Andy.

 

[Moondance]

Sigh... This Contador situation is a absolute disgrace.

Can anyone smell the tripple?

hell yes...

Definitely, Andy must be looking over his shoulder after this news

 

[Publicus]

hell yes...

Sweet I'm so looking forward to the quality steak/meat jokes through the Tour

 

[inri2000]

hell yes...

Congratulations on making steak joke nr. 1 million

Congratulations on making steak joke nr. 1 million

Your congratulations are appreciated.

Personally I'd have gone with "over 1 million steak jokes served".

If he wins the tour after a brutal Giro then it will just reinforce peoples opinion that he is doped to the gills.

An expression including a swimming bath and a turd springs to mind.

Must be some good dope that explains a 6 minute gap without really trying.

by far the most stupid post you have ever made

Yep, oh well. Its El Pickle...

 

[El Pistolero]

without trying to get a big gap that is.

Could have taken 4 minutes more out of them if he wanted. There's no dope that explains such gaps. Well, not in microdoses.

I'm more interested in the expression. Not sure I've ever heard one involving a swimming bath (frankly I have no idea what that is) and a turd, so please spell it out.

As for AC, it doesn't matter what happens. If he wins (by any margin), it's proof that he did. If he loses by a lot, it is proof that he did before. If he loses by a little, it's proof that he didn't enough.

The expression is "as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool (bath)"

just makes him even MORE unpopular which is what that pr!ck deserves

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Poor guy, hated by so many people

Does it? I would think the trenches between haters and nuthuggers have been dug deeply some time ago with not much neutral ground between the combatants.
