Apollonius said:Indeed - he had one small kick yesterday, which was by in large unsuccessful (his main rival still added seconds on him) and you'd think it was the second coming of Christ!
It's a disgrace he's even riding in this tour.
Apollonius said:So you think the rules shouldn't be upheld?
LaFlorecita said:Pff... Please hold your judgement until after CAS.
Grayguard said:+1 I completely agree with this.
Contador has been cleared once - until CAS judge on UCI and WADA's appeals, he is considered innocent. That is the "Presumption of innocence", as should be known by everyone - at least everyone privileged enough to live in a democracy.

Blakeslee said:Enjoy it while it lasts, Contador will probably soon be going away for at least a year, hopefully two.
I was encouraged by how Contador looked more human yesterday. He still made an aggressive attack, but without the kind of superhuman acceleration we've seen in the past where he leaves everyone minutes behind. Gives us a glimpse of how exciting clean racing could potentially be.
you two may not be aware of this, so i will give you the benefit of the doubt.Apollonius said:Indeed - he had one small kick yesterday, which was by in large unsuccessful (his main rival still added seconds on him) and you'd think it was the second coming of Christ!

thirteen said:this thread is for those that have an appreciation for Contador as a cyclist.
Apollonius said:I know where The Clinic is thanks.
We wont discuss Contador being poisoned by another team (LMAO, worst excuse ever) here again but this is an open forum so I can certainly criticise his riding like his silly risk taking today for zero gain.

Apollonius said:What an amazing descent by Contador! Shame it wasn't good enough to keep him from getting caught at the line. Ha!

slim charles said:yeah, what a ***** he is, attacking and trying to take time in a bike race. stupid, stupid contador
Apollonius said:He's desperate - he's not good enough at descending to attack there, as evinced by the fact that even "poor" descenders like the Schlecks caught him.
So he took massive risks (and they were risks, Sanchez nearly went off at one point) for nothing.
Top tip for Contador - Attack on the climbs, chum.
