Teams & Riders He's coming home!!!! Alejandro Valverde comeback thread.

[Koronin]

I agree about getting someone in all but the first break and saving 2-3 riders to ensure Valverde hits the last climb in the best possible position. If all that happens and he has the legs, he's definitely got another medal, the question is can he finally get that gold.

 

[Koronin]

The Spanish team is together training (well except for Castroviejo who is getting ready for the ITT).

I really like the spanish kit

 

[Red Rick]

And here we have the definitive proof that Mas is already balder than Valverde

You'd think they could do better with a team photo.

True, we do have proof that the 23 yr old has less hair than the 38 yr old whom we all keep talking about concerning his hair.

 

[Koronin]

markene2, this kit is better than some of the previous ones. The one before this was basically split in half with the red and yellow. However, in reality there is only so much you can do with those two colors.

They're all pointing in a different direction .

 

[Koronin]

Make of this comment what you will. Alejandro said that he's more rested coming into this Worlds than he has been for several years. He's also not been downplaying his chances as he is so good at doing and we've become accustom to hearing. He actually sounds confident.

 

[Squire]

YES! Finally!

 

[GuyIncognito]

Well, the white whale is slain.

What's next?

Lombardia in the rainbow stripes?

 

[Velolover2]

His main goal completed.

So what's left? Lombardia? De Ronde?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

He's now definitely amongst the greatest of all time.

I dont' undertand why valverde still doesn't have a nickname about "being the alpha species in a food chain"

Cannibal nah, Shark nah.....the MURITO EATER

 

[markene2]

I imagine Valverde fans are feeling just as happy as i was feeling when Vino won in London.

Great rider, well deserved win

The legend keeps growing. He made it look easy in the last 2km today, but anyone who has raced a bike knows how difficult and epic that was. To lead out and hold off riders who are not bad sprinters, after 6 hours of racing, is incredible.

It's a pity that my "Valverde can't win one day races that aren't controlled to the final kilometer" argument in the Nibali vs Valverde discussion is now destroyed but hey, the guy deserved it
Chapeau Legend

Nibali was taken out by a French fan.

Legends don't cheat. And we saw zero attacks in this race, so what are you even talking about?

I dunno which race you watched.

Let's see how he goes in De Ronde. That will really test is ability as a one-day rider.

 

[Red Rick]

I wonder what Joaquim Rodriguez is thinking right now

HAPPIEST DAY WATCHING CYCLING SINCE YEARS.

SO DESERVED. SO MANY YEARS. HEART OF A CHAMPION!!!

I think his main goal is to regrow his hair. That's a race he'll never win, unfortunately. But he keeps trying!

Yep, clearly the most deserving champion in the peloton. Seven podiums now in the WC, and finally on the top step. No-one objective wants to see the likes of Woods or Bardet representing the WC stripes.
