like i said the odd betting talk is fine, the endless discussion of betting and the betting results is the problem

I know, was just trying to make people aware in a flippant sort of way. And replying to Swifty to clear up a point, less he lumped in at those odds:rolleyes:

Thank you! Maybe it's just me and my ignorance of all things regarding betting and odds but I noticed that there has been a sudden and drastic increase in discussions regarding betting as if a mass of new forum members with that mindset had descended on the forum all at once.

Rodriguez shat on him throughout the Vuelta and blew it on a stage he shouldn't have. He gained seconds almost every day. Showed some more abilities on the longer climbs too.

That said, I wouldn't expect that at the tour if he even goes.

Is he past his prime?
Was he lucky, Rodriguez had a bad moment last september?

:):D

Saw someone mentioning his age on twitter. I don't know, he's not that old but maybe he had an early prime.

My god, it is february! He is a human being, he is not going to win everything, July is a while away, so he had a bad day, better know than later.

I find it hard to believe that Contador attacked to soon. He is arguably the most experienced climber in pro cycling. He can't be that stupid and attack if 'his sensations are not very good' on a beast like Green Mountain. Maybe this is what a non-manipulated (clinic) Contador can do at his best.

rodriguez relied entirely on bonus seconds to stay ahead of Contador. Without them he would have been out of the jersey halfway through the second week.

Because it matches the theme of Alien vs. Predator, and Alberto does remind me of a predator :p

okay :confused: tbh Alberto reminds me more of a puppy and in this case a lost puppy :D
