Poll: Contador vs. Froome - 2012 Vuelta

[LaFlorecita]

I have no doubt AC will win 2012 Vuelta. The question is: Will he keep this victory?

Sure, of course

Airstream could you explain how the Spanish authorities could help Alberto?

Of Course. There will be no doubt.

I'm afraid spanish authorities can hesitate to touch Contador and it might decide the outcome not in favour of the rivals. If not, Froome will win relatively easily.

Lol! It seems you have found a new rider to cheer for. What happened to your love of poor old Andy?

 

[The Cobra]

Froome is undroppable in the mountains! Since he started riding for himself in the second half of Vuelta last year and in this years Tour no one has been able to touch him. Froome knows all he has to do is mark Contador in the mountains then crush him in TT.

 

[dlwssonic]

Lol alberto duh........

 

[Machu Picchu]

I presume Wiggins will be here to support Froome and start paying back his debt to him (and I don’t necessary mean for this year’s tour, yet).

You make it sound so easy.

 

[airstream]

Of Course. There will be no doubt.

Nah, I don't have one but Andy. Possibly will cheer for Juanjo a bit in case Andy doesn't ride. It's reality and Contador realizes he must win other one can think "aha, now it's clear how he won in the past". He'll be under big pressure. People just don't wanna recognize Sky strength saying Contador would have given a handful out of Verbiers and Etnas... They didn't watch the Tour attentively, I think.

No, why don't you explain to us "how he won in the past"

Yeah, piece of cake.

 

[airstream]

Because there are some mods, overly biased to Contador and hence to me.

You didn't watch the 2011 Giro attentively, I think.

I heard rumours of Laflorecita becoming mod from next August

 

[veganrob]

He missed a whole lot of stuff. Blind, I think

 

[Mogwai_]

Is Froome actually going to race this years Vuelta, if so, has the team been selected yet?

Yes, he's going to do the Vuelta.

 

[Dedelou]

edit: Giro 2011 win can't be called a low level performance IMO

It's like the 2011 Giro and 2011 Tour didn't happen in your fevered mind.

EDIT: And for the record, I don't think Vroome could lay a finger on an in form Andy.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

why does people think Froome is better than AC on tts?

 

[BillytheKid]

Froome might surprise here.

 

[johnnycash]

You lot are going to be heartbroken when AC turns up at the Vuelta and is just good, not great.

Like tour '10 good? Couse I'll take that every day of the year my friend

Well he came second last year and could've won the tour this year so I doubt he'll surprise, just hope sky don't ruin other riders chances like Uran & Henao (I presume they're riding).

Froome looks scary talented. We might have to endure it. Then again, he might blow himself up after a good start.

 

[Pentacycle]

Froome can only disappoint really, almost everyone expects him to at least podium the Vuelta or even win it.

The biggest surprise of the Vuelta will be Quintana imo, he's the only one who has been able to beat the Sky train this year in a big mountain stage.

Sorry, but I don't think Froome fits your assessment of him.
Talent: Natural aptitude or skill.

Not everyone expects him to be Contador and he can possibly, though it may be unlikely, achieve such a feat
