How many more GT's will Contador win?

[Miburo]

It's a pretty simple question.

Maybe in the comments be a bit precise in which GT's exactly he'll still win.

I think he'll still have 5/6 years on a high level. The last year he always stopped racing after the tour, that should benefit him when he's getting older, he doesn't overrace it.

I think he'll win a GT each year without bad luck, he can even win more than 1 in 1 year.

I'm going to say 7.

In the previous 6 years he won 7 GT's, so yeah it's possible

2013: Tour
2014: Giro + Tour
2015:Tour + Vuelta
2016: Giro + Tour

Got a problem with it? polls are a better way to get a clear view on people their opinion.

I went with 5....he has at least 4 more years; he should manage 5.

If he skipped le Tour a couple of years he could win 2 (Giro/Vuelta) a year, but he won't do that.

 

[Parrulo]

tour and vuelta the next 2 years and then 1 more tour before age and the new generation finally catching up to him.

maybe 1 more giro or vuelta after that. accounting for possible bad luck and stuff i voted for 4 more GT's.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol airstream will probably vote 0

 

[Froome19]

2013 - A bit tough I think the Tour will be a bit of lottery and it will be very tight. I would say his chances of winning are just not sufficient enough for me to predict him as the winner, as he has a lot of rivals who could come good and beat him if he is not on top form. I dont see him racing any other GTs and if he does race the Vuelta he will probably be too fatigued.

2014- 1, hopefully he will race the Giro and win that or maybe even the Vuelta.
2015 + 0, Too much of a lottery at that age and that far into the future to predict whether he will have declined somewhat or not.

Total: 1

 

[Carols]

Poor Froome19 will be in for a rough next 4 years

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol carol

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Vino level ofc

 

[Froome19]

Vino level ofc

lol I would have thought only Vino could reach Vino level..

 

[HiCadence]

I don't care if he wins the next 10 or loses them i just love to watch him ride!

 

[hrotha]

He barely won this one. It's not like winning a GT is easy, even for someone like Contador.

Agree, but he did beat Purito on a course that was pretty much perfect for him.

Having Andy Schleck in the TdF will help Contador to beat Wiggins/Froome. Schleck will help to create some time gaps in the mountains, and AC will gain minutes on him in the TT.

 

[sartoris]

Voted 6+, of course !!

Hey HROTHA, why didn't you like the vuelta? You rated the Vuelta as 1 out of 10 ??

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

lol I would have thought only Vino could reach Vino level..

Vino level is reachable through sheer awesomeness like stage 17 this Vuelta. More of this and you reach this most holy state of body and mind

-1

When he get busted again he will be stripped of his Vuelta title.

But take comfort LaFlorecita, it will probably not be as bad as it is for Lance.

Just playing the devil here.

Please take this clinic talk where it belongs

 

[Steel4Ever]

He's already got 8 GT wins...how many more does he need to prove he's awesome?

Although, I do enjoy the aggressive manner in which he races.
Fun to watch.

Agreed without a doubt. I think he underestimated both Purito and Valverde; he won't do it again That plus the parcours and race rust contributed to a Fierce Battle. And a Great Show for us! Having worthy opponents only makes him try harder; but never mentally break.

 

[airstream]

i didn't change my opinion. 1. the giro or the vuelta in 2013. he has choice. probably there are two camps: fans (who never vote for less than 4 and will always use the lack of racing kilometers but not only opponents' stregth as the main reason of that perfomance) and people who treat the rider with no redundant enthusiasm and think that in the vuelta contador showed not a few weaknesses.
