Why then, when Contador races up a climb, all he can do is hang on for dear life? Which is pretty impressive, don't get me wrong, but at no point has he seemed stronger than Contador.

because rujano wans't in his topshape yet as he himself stated. alreayd on grossglocker you could see he had no problems following contador and is was more the other way around as contador was following rujano.

do you even read? I said, tests in THESE. talking about a specific thing there. rujano isn't only tests that are amazing. the guy has incredible recuperation and engine already proven at age 23 in his first giro. combine that with his incredible watt tests. yes I think he's the greatest cycling talent since pantani.

Yes, I can read, hence the disclaimer in brackets. And still, that only applies to the second post. The greatest cycling talent since Pantani bit is just sad.

the firts post was BASED on his test results. young one asked me one reason. well one reason are his test reuslts but not the ONLY reason. other reason is the way he rides. watt he puts out in races and climbs. and it's all my opinion. I remember last year getting laughed at for claiming rujano wa sthe only riderpossible to follow contador

No you were laughed at for saying rujano would beat contador and salivating over the money you stood to earn for betting on such a sure thing. on this forum sympathy for the rujano is a contender pov was quite high.

no I got laughed at (before the giro) for claiming rujano was the only rider in potential to beat contador. after etna I was assured he could be better than him in the mountains(not gc as he already lost 5 minutes in sterrato). on grossglockner despite the weather it was alreaydy appearant. after that he got sick unfortunately :(

I really don't get why you glorify his grossglockner performance so much.

Aren't you all against the whole giving gifts part of cycling? Don't you detest the Tourmalet 010 like stages where 2 riders come in together to the finish, 1 lets the other win and then they shake hands.

Isnt that the whole point about why Lat Am cycling is so great?

Then what the hell are you doing glorifying the Grossglockner stage.

The only difference between Schleck on Tourmalet and Rujano on Grossglockner is that Schleck actually tried to win. He attacked to drop Contador multiple times. He pushed a high pace to drop Contador. Even for the win he actually launched a sprint to make sure he got the stage.

And Schleck pushed the pace the whole way, Contador didnt go in front once.

Rujano on Grossglockner on the other hand did absolutely none of that and whatsmore didnt even sprint for the win but rather gently strolled in with his hands in the air forcing Contador to stop peddling 50m from the end in order to make sure Rujano got the stage. As if to make it even more obvious that it was a gift. Couldn't even play the "I was holding on to his wheel because I knew I would outsprint him in the end" card.

Hell Rujano and Contador even did the handshake bit.

lol @ hitch. rujano did nearly all the pulling and got the win. yes it's pathetic contador made it like he let him win. **** him for that you could also see rujano barely believe it as wins aren't handed to you in south america and he kept looking back thinking he will sprint out of his back or something.

and yes kreuziger in that picture. I never forget what he said on twitter about rujano. may he rot in eternity for that, sour loser that he is. a born coward

he said after grossglocker that contador was of a different level and rujano was ridiculous and that it was better left to not talk about him. as in that he was doped.

kind of ironic that contador is now suspended and rujano has never even been accused. wonder what that idiot thinks now

Even CAS except the clenbuterol wasnt due to doping, sounds like all the other riders think exactly the same, he was just very unlucky

CAS didn't accept such a thing (go over to the Clinic for the details), but at any rate this was way before the CAS ruling.

And lol @ Ryo.
