Contador reappreciation thread

[Opalius]

Several crashes, hurt knee. Just did the hardest GT in memory. Nice one.

I'm going to love the interviews with the Schlecks today.

Does it on a vegetable diet

Go go Giro and Tour in a row. Next... The Vuelta. Go for the Tripple!

Maybe the decent wasn’t steep enough for Andy?

Contador made this stage.

Even after the Giro he is still attacking, and not in the mountains, on 5% cat 2s.

I wish there was a way I could thank The Great One for what he brings to cycling.

 

[jobiwan]

Well done to Alberto today!!!!

 

[bicing]

Let's make a petition for the CAS so they drop the case. Imagine what kind of crap this race would be without him.

 

[No_Balls]

Dont need to tell how much i like this guy. He must have the matrix of cycling soul in his chest, ridden through him, to put it back to the attacking, entertaining stuff since days gone by. He brings joy back to cycling.

Thanks to finding back to your own self, Alberto, a true champion.

make a twitter account and tell him yourself

Get your Rebellin avatars ready, bishes.

Hitch has a twitter account. But what is Conties twitter?

 

[Carols]

Albert is a Grand Champion without one ounce of quit in him no matter the obstacles! Bravo Alberto!

One advantage of the coming CAS ruling tho is that according to a Dutch newspaper, Contador gets to keep his Giro win and his results in this Tour too.

Anyway, great ride by Contador today. Looking forward for more in the coming days.

 

[perico]

What a rider. The best since Hinault, with the chance to be the best since Merckx. And that's not to take anything away from Armstrong or Indurain, regardless of what they were doing to win.

 

[The Hitch]

That moment when with about 8k of the climb still to go, I saw Contador come out of the pack, is my favourite cycling moment of 2011.

It was so unexpected.

 

[tobsie]

Thank you for opening the tour, Alberto, thank you.

How much time do you think Contador needs to win on Evans before the time trial?

 

[luckyboy]

Same here Hitch.

Really really hope CAS rules in AC's favour.

Get your Rebellin avatars ready, bishes.

Haha, I am one of the few who said he would do the double.

 

[Grand Tourist]

Bert's a proper hard case with a real killer instinct. Today was a master stroke. The Schlecks didn't see that coming.

Chapeau

 

[El Pistolero]

And Navarro is back in good form as well! Expect mayhem at the Galibier!

Tomorrow another epic stage, he'll attack for sure because the Schlecks are crappy descenders. I'll be glad when that stage is over though, hope no one crashes out there.

 

[ingsve]

I still hate him.

 

[roundabout]

Amazing resurrection. Only a true champion can do that.

 

[jens_attacks]

thank you for existing grande campeon!!!

 

[rhubroma]

How much the crash is weighing on this race!

Evans is still the leading contender.

But great display of class by Alberto.

killer instinct! That's the main difference between Andy and Alberto.

 

[ImmaculateKadence]

I suggest this be moved to the clinic. Insane time gain on a descent that didn't suit the Schlecks at all. Really surprised he got away on a climb like that though. You think a good fart would be enough to close the gap on Contador. Pitiful showing for the Schlecklet today.

Chapeau Contador I guess.

Team Cuddles for the win. I can't depend on the Schlecks to beat AC....I'll go revise my GT dream team now....

 

[indurain666]

Bravo Alberto! This only proves that you also need some serious guts, lets not forget that even on Luz Ardiden with an achy knee, he still tried!

Looking forward to a very entertaining week. I think Cadel is going to win this, but at least we are going to get to see some serious racing as opposed to Schleck sisters wimpy riding.

Gracias Alberto!

Gogo Contador!!! Im not a Contador fan (not a hater either, just neutral normally) but I so hope he wins this tour!
