Miburo said:I guess it's stupid to vote on a guy who beated Canc in a TT and absolutely dominated the TT's in the pais basque. And on a bad shape, not really motivated was 3th in tour'11 TT behind evans/martin who were 100% and really motivated.
Yeah it's really ***
airstream said:damn, lol, once again Contador fans call an about 95% preparedness a bad shape. He was in great shape in the last weak of the 2011 Tour. **snip****
in case froome takes a minute in tt, i expect to read "gah... alberto is not prepared at even a quarter compared to he could"

The Hitch said:No. We all have our favorites, (apart from Ryaguas who loves everyone and sniper who hates everyone,) but that does not mean one should not approach discussions with the aim of commenting objectively and impartially.
Publicus said:I wouldn't hang my hat on his prior TT's at this point, because it is clear that he's below his 2009 TdF form. I don't where exactly he is, relative to the 2011 TdF, but he's most close to that form with the expectation that he will (hopefully) exceed that form over the next week. I just don't think he has the race stamina yet. The rest day couldn't have come soon enough for Froome in my opinion. ITT will be close but it will depend, again, if Froome is declining at faster rate than Contador is improving.
I really am looking forward to these two facing off when both are at full strength. Adding an on-form Andy Schleck will make it must watch tv!

Howard Thomas said:What are you all writing? Is this how cycling enthusiasts normally express themselves? I mean, weird or what?
Publicus said:Airstream: {emotional background music plays as Airstream defiantly wipes away a single tear as he walks away } I'll show them. I'll show them all!
Miburo said:And I hope Wiggins will be 100 % too.
Should be quite a battle in 2013 but when Contador is 100 % you know what's coming then
willbick said:I find it funny the way most people on here seem to totally ignore the fact that Contador used to cheat. Then he got caught. Now he cant cheat anymore. Dont you think this may possibly have a detrimental effect on his performances? Anyone expecting him to suddenly produce a stunning TT is living in la-la land.
willbick said:p.s. I wouldnt be surprised if Rodriguez beats Contador in the TT. Current form counts, not ancient history
Do you know anything at all about cycling? No way Purito will beat Contador in a time trial. Never.willbick said:p.s. I wouldnt be surprised if Rodriguez beats Contador in the TT. Current form counts, not ancient history
