hmmm no lol...we'll see the strongest contador ever i assure you.hell, this suspension will done well to his body.just wait for the vuelta

can't wait

No, the Vuelta is representative by no means. Let's wait for the 13 Tour, certainly if Contador will be allowed to start.

 

[El Pistolero]

Representative enough to strike fear in his "enemies"

 

[Zam_Olyas]

There will be much mercy in this vuelta as there are milk in a male tiger.

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

2nd Frank Schleck FAIL in a row. What's going on?

I'm getting excited already... But I think we should not have too high expectations... We'll all end up disappointed.

He won't be, but anyway, Alberto would beat Andy's emaciated ****.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'm absolutely certain we won't see a former Contador too because he will come back being other rider, an honest one.

He will come back exactly how he left, kicking ***. I feel sorry for you.

It is the GIRO, for ****'s sake. Il Giro isn't important enough for stupid Frank Schleck. Sad, I always thought he had a different approach than Andy.

I think he should win by 20 seconds the Vuelta and suggest that it's his "clean version" and then wait for tdf 2013.



On topic, Frank showing how poor are the brothers in a tricky stage, a trait of Giro.

That would be awesome lol.

You are not very witty trying to reply me with my posts. One thing Contador is really able to is being the main cannon fodder in annihilation The Legend will commit.

Andy Schleck in Tour de France - Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

For the purpose of my own satisfaction i hope Andy does not win this years tour (Vino for the win! )

For the purpose of the entertainment quality in this forum though go Andy go!

It's a good thing you told me you're not really like this because otherwise I'd think you're a bit crazy in the head.

Ummm.... in his last race (including banned races) he came 5th and was quite a way behind Andy.

Well, ok, I refrain from personal comments in your address. Judging from absense of reaction you do agree with a role of cannon fodder for Contador. Somehow initially I thought exactly this way.

Andy Schleck in Tour de France (2012) - Abandon, DNF, DNS in that order: a mirror of his 2012 season thus far.

Andy Schleck in Tour de France (2013) - Return of the King: Andy's triumphant return to his spot on the 2nd step of the podium--for the rest of Contador's career. Confidence thus lost, the next big thing (whoever that may be/someone with the smarts, talent, work ethic and will to win)will have arrived to take over as Andy's tormentor at the Tour. The agony continues.

Uhm.... Yeah right. Dream on.

 

[LaFlorecita]

To be fair he was knackered from the Giro and crashed on the opening stage. He also had a knee injury to deal with so he had many obstacles stacked against him.

Just look at Scarponi, Rodriguez and Nibali and they were still feeling the effects of that gruelling Giro in the Vuelta later on in the year.

There is no way Andy or Frank would of finished 2nd or 3rd had they done that Giro.

He made a fair point though. If you look at his last race (which was actually Tour de San Luis, but whatever, let's say it's the Tour) he didn't really kick *** there. However, if you look at the whole year, it is a different story.

To be honest, I would ban haters and any who roots against someone [surely if one is not a hard-boiled doper] purposefully and is proud of that on the forum. I treat all riders but Andy, Kloden and my compatriots absolutely the same way and always glad when one grew up , raised his level (Nibali, Rujano, Gesink...whoever) and ready to congratulate their fans, shake their hands, etc because the guys deserved, they suffered some achievements. But if someone roots against and wishes someone to failure for lack of a rider to support... It's highly unworthy. Such people are not cycling fans.

I know I was just making a bad joke about how the post could be interpreted. Edit: admittedly it was Sans Luis but the joke still stands

+1
Sportsmen all have their foibles but to hate them with a passion

But there is no way he could kick *** after that gruelling Giro. Tell me one rider who could do that in the Tour after racing that type of Giro. Just look at Basso in 2010 after his own tough Giro to see where he finished.

Basso got sick straight before the Pyrenees and rode Bagneres de Luchon and Tourmalet stages with a temperature. I think he would have placed the 7th or 8th being healthy.

So now you're advocating banning those that root against your fav's? Good luck! One could confusingly conclude that you are a "hater" (whatever that actually means) of Contador with your (I'm guessing) tongue-in-cheek prognostications that he'll never return to Tour glory. Would you then consider yourself worthy of being banned?
