Finally Rodriguez has found a suitable TT.

Re:

But Froome will beat him poor guy

 

[Miburo]

Contador got this

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think it is an interesting TT. I am still unsure if I prefer this over a regular prologue, but I am curious to see what will happen. Normally we see riders go head-to-head on this sort of finish.

 

[dacooley]

dunno who wins. froome is the main favorite though. short explosive effort at the beginning of the race suits him like no one else

Re: Re:

That bad he was back racing in a week...a liar that can't be trusted

No he was not racing in a week . He made it clear it was a hairline fracture- again did you see the big scar.
Show me where he lied, lets put your lies and assumptions to bed .

Seems to have done the job

Riding/ Racing its all the same

Getting back on your bike and riding is not the same as racing . Bertie made it quite clear it was a hairline fracture he also made it clear when he got back on his bike. He never lied.
So where do you get off calling him a liar. The only lies seems to be coming from you making suggestions that were not true. If you see a headline perhaps you should actually read the words underneath before coming to a conclusion of falsehood.
Like I said before show me exactly where Bertie lied . Put up or shut up.

What a crazy ITt, but it is always good to have new things, if there is another long flat ITT.

Being the first stage nothing will be left in the tank.

Yes, at that point the wound had gotten infected and perhaps that was a blow to him and he got emotional which lead to him posting "goodbye to la Vuelta" on twitter.

 

[Angliru]

If I recall correctly, the continued irritation and discomfort that he was experiencing was the result of debris still existing in the wound. The report that I remember reading indicated that the wound was reopened, the debris removed, the wound cleaned up and of course reclosed. What a gigantic conspiracy! I'd expect the doctor received a nice little sum to be party to this "story".

One of the doctors even made up a story complete with fabricated images! Can you believe the nerve of this guy?!

Still looks pretty gross to me.

I've got it. Hear me out.

Contador was nearing the best form of his life in 2014. Now of course, Froome knows he's the inferior rider. He knew he was incapable of beating AC in the 2014 tour. However, he couldn't exactly pull out of the Tour and decide to do the Giro instead because everyone would know that Froome is simply scared of Contador, and the Cound would have too many twitter accounts to block if the whole world was firing shots at CF for running away from AC.

Now Froome, being the true gentleman that he is, decided no. MY WIFE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS. And so he took to the startline of the Tour instead.

Now, Sky have the most money in the peloton, and used some to find out about the 2015 route from Prudhomme. More cobbles, but weak cobbles. This got Brailsford thinking. They already knew Froome had to crash out before the mountains so Contador couldn't impose his superiority. But what if Contador was better on the cobbles too? And what if people realised that you could gain time on Froome on the cobbles - what if people realised he wasn't a truly well rounded GC racer? Maybe Chris could crash out before the cobbles this year, and then next year, the cobbles are p*ss, so everyone'll think he can handle the cobbles too.

So come stage 5, CF rode out of the peloton a couple of times, pretended he'd injured himself, and climb into the backseat of the warm Team Sky Jaguar.

You're welcome ladies and gentlemen.

second half of story .... 2015 Alberto realizes he'll never beat Froome and decides he'll ride the Giro where he's got a shot at winning with the added bonus of an excuse when he gets smoked in the Tour

Can you actually read? Its clear from the article that he had to see how he was going to recover. If at one point his condition looked bad and at that point he thought he could not ride and says so does not make him a liar. When it felt better and he thinks he can ride that does not make him a liar.
That is accessing the situation on a daily basis. Bertie was desperate to ride.
Changing your mind because you felling better does not make you a liar.
Calling someone a liar under those circumstances when a riders main objective was missed and he's hoping a injury will heal so he can get something out of the season is pretty low.
He has not lied anywhere just explained the situation of his injury and condition on a daily basis.

All of Contadors victories was achieved by extreme luck.

Whoever made this article should be fired on the spot.

Factually he didn't do his job, as a journalist that's unacceptable then again many journalists do it.

Let's do state some incorrect things, or at the least the context being completely wrong:

Giro 2008: Winning a race in a ITT isn't allowed anymore?

Tour 2010: Contador lost 30 sec orso on the cobbles stage because of a flat tire at the end. And keeping in mind that FS his crash caused the distance in the first place. With that in mind the chaingate is irrelevant. Both got distanced on bad luck. Dumb journalist or willingly hiding info, idk take your pick

Giro 2011: Did this guy say the competition was easy? Was one of the hardest giro fields i can remember. And he had no team

Vuelta 2012: Tiralongo did help Contador but he wasn't THE reason contador won that vuelta. It was mostly his team's strength and the genius of that move (contador and riis).

Vuelta 2014: Contador distance Quintana on ever MTF until that crash and he was beating him in that ITT. With quintana it's a different race but he wasn't crushing Contador, was rather the reverse.

In Giro 2015: of course they forget to mention that Contador had an injury and even started mortirolo 50 sec behind and faced an enormous astana team.

Except for the boring part a good comparison, Batman and Bertie have a bit of an edge to them, while Froome and Superman seem a bit straight laced. they also need each other as the main protagonist of the story.
