Contador (not) riding TdF avatar bets

[boomcie]

The interest on this subject seems to be rather big and a few people have already taken a bet, so I've decided to dedicate a thread to it.
I encourage everyone to take a bet on whether El Pistolero will ride the Tour or not this year.

The following people have already committed themselves in one way or the other:


1. People saying Contador won't ride the Tour:
boomcie
Roundabout
hrotha
Descender
will10
royalpig180
scribe
Trev_S
just some guy
Bordercollie1

2. People saying Contador will ride the Tour:
Michielveedeebee
Jiaying
vcampbell

3. People saying Contador won't win the Tour:
Timmy-loves-Rabo
dlwssonic
Havetts
DenisMenchov
JA.Tri
Fowsto Cope-E

4. People doing the Sasquatch bet (IF Contador wins the Giro and IF he rides the Tour > he does the double):
Sasquatch
Hugo Koblet
Cimber
Thomsena
on3m@n@rmy

5. People saying he does the double:
JPM London
luckyboy

6. People saying he does the tripple:
Boeing


Keep 'em coming

EDIT: It would be nice if everyone includes a Rebellin avatar in their bet. It seems like this is becoming the trend and it would indeed be funny to have a Rebellin invasion on the forum.

(Be free to inform me if I have made any mistakes in my interpretations of your bets)

Round-up so far:

I'll put a Rebellin avatar on for 2 weeks if he doesn't ride the Tour

Copy that .

Anyone else cares to join in? I will (one month avatar deal if he does ride it).

Yeah, count me in.

Avatar (if he rides) TBD

I'm in. The hilarity of having the forum taken over by Rebellin would make up somewhat for the mockery of the sport that would represent.

blah.
I just don't get it. We have seen so many guys fail after doing the giro (Menchov 09, Basso 10 etc), it is clear the giro is just too demanding, without some massive [clinic input] help, it shouldn't be possible. This year the giro and tour double is harder then other years considering the courses.

Even if he does race he wont win. I am happy to risk a rebellin avatar for this.
If he does win, well for me cycling loses even more credibility (as if that is possible).

If Contador wins the giro and he rides the Tour and doesn't do the double, I will have a Cadel avatar for a year on what ACF decides on.

So that will only apply on the two following terms. Not one or another. Both have to happen for my bet to stand.

1. He wins the Giro
2. He starts the Tour.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I'll back Sasquatch and will take the same bet in case anyone's interested!

 

[dlwssonic]

If contador rides the tour and wins, I will put up a rabobank avatar.

 

[Cimber]

I will take the same bet as Sasquatch, with the same conditions

 

[hrotha]

To clarify: if Contador gets to start the Tour, I'll have a Rebellin avatar for the duration of the Tour.

Also I would like to ask more people to include Rebellin in their bet, because it's no fun if it's not a full Rebellin invasion.

 

[roundabout]

Ok, Rebellin it is.

Should probably be the same picture for all for a full effect...

 

[boomcie]

Rebellin it is

A few suggestions:

 

[Hugo Koblet]

The one to the right will definately torture a lot of people.

Right, I'll take a Rebellin avatar for the rest of the year if Contador wins the Giro, gets to start in the Tour and doesn't do the double (just like Sasquatch's conditions).

 

[brianf7]

My guess is that CAS will set the hearing right in the middle of the tour.

that seems the way they work.

Will he have to attend Maybe not so but the effects it would have on him would be soul destroying.

any bets on that one.

 

[Descender]

Count me in for the Rebellin avatar if Contador rides the Tour.

Probably not. Verdict is expected before the start of the Tour (source).

Count me in for the Rebellin avatar if Contador rides the Tour.

[jens_attacks]

You're betting he rides it?

 

[jens_attacks]

You're betting he rides it?

sorry i bet only on bet365,sportingbet,unibet and betfair.plus i like my avatar.

 

[Havetts]

Going with TLR's bet.

 

[El Pistolero]

A Rebellin avatar wouldn't even be a punishment for me

 

[Captain_Cavman]

A Rebellin avatar wouldn't even be a punishment for me

Cavendish?

 

[boomcie]

A Rebellin avatar wouldn't even be a punishment for me

A "Gilbert sucks balls" avatar?

 

[El Pistolero]

A "Gilbert sucks balls" avatar?

Nah, everyone would know it's a lie and it would just make Gilbert even more loved in this forum

I don't think Contador will start the Tour anyway.

But are you taking a bet? We can still decide on the avatar later.

 

[just some guy]

I´m new here and maybe wrong

but a Armstrong aviator for El Pistolero

name and signature seems to indicate not a fan .

but I might be wrong...........

 

[Cimber]

Tbh I think the picture of a half-naked Rasmussen should be the punishment for losing a bet (0:
