So why shouldn't AC have a stomach full of anger now?

[gatete]

Simple answer: Had AC not attacked AS last year during Chaingate - and therefore, subsequently, had he lost the Tour 2010 to AS - the peloton might have waited for him yesterday. But luckily, the peloton has learned to play the game just the way AC loves to play it: dirty. Only mistake was that Leopard didn't send their guys to the front to put even more time into AC.

I'm a little confused about the rational on waiting, when exactly is there a right time to wait? let's see Cancellara stop the peloton when AS crashed, then on the cobble stage he rode and towed andy while Alberto lost time in Frank's crash, now the peloton shouldn't stop because Alberto didn't wait for Andy in the chaingate incident? In the end this is a RACE, nobody is entitled to have anger in any freaking stomach, if anything I aplaud AC posture, do the freaking talk with your freaking legs and shut the f u c k up.

I would advice Alberto and Sammy to follow Vinokourov in flat stages. Vino is always positioned wisely in the pack regardless of his teammates

That's a fair point - but they really should have worked it out for themselves by now

 

[jens_attacks]

true,and alberto was helped a lot by vino last year,a lot in those chaotic sprinter stages.

anyway i hope alberto will attack on tourmalet and destroy the schlecks.or at least try.

A plea to the MODS. Please just open a sticky along the lines of '1001 Reasons why I hate Andy Schleck'. It will save just about every new thread recently including this one the trouble of being anything else.

 

[Cimber]

he i hope he destroys everyone big time in the mountains.

He will. Including Andrew.

I wouldnt be surprised if he plans to try to take a few secs on tuesday, just for the psychological advantage.

 

[dolophonic]

BUENO; as we all know in the end all the more or less stupid talking of any rider isn't gonna matter anyway.

I really appreciate Contadors ability to just SHUT UP and ride.

This is true.. i hope he get's it done.

 

[McLovin]

he should definitely be furious.
I dont know why he isnt but i hope he destroys everyone big time in the mountains.

this is the boy who made that presentasion for giro stages like this sport was his life?
this is the boy who is in love with this guy who by this fall will be destroing this sport, put sponsors on their way and s**t on this sport's credibility?
you got to love this boy.

 

[jens_attacks]

take it to the clinic mclovin.

alberto won't be banned,it was already decided.

 

[McLovin]

i'm not talkin about clinic stuff...i'm talkin about damn people who spend their summer hollyday wathin this sport, who care for this sport and some riccos and schunmachers and etcs just s**t on us. i'm talkin about comon sense and character.

I hope he destroys everyone in the mountains, too. If he drops Andy, you can be assured that AS will comment that AC was being paced by the motorbikes.

Alberto has proven to be a very clever rider. He will not be intimidated. He will destroy everyone in the mountains.

I think a "mad" Contador is the person you don't want to be racing against.

of course that's just my optimmism without any proves and that can't be talked in these forums.but saxo bank offering sponsorship for next year speaks itself.

No, AC would still have won the Tour 2010 (even with the cobblestone stage were AC crashed and As didnt wait for him). And AC didnt really attack (Schleck attacked) and he was by no way riding for max the last km:s of the hill.

 

[Sebastian]

Yes but Contador is evil. I was told that he was.

By who? By Lance?

As pointless as talking in hindsight is, lets not forget the final TT. Berto was at his max then.

As was Andy. As you said it is pointless...

Contador is the most un-evail guy in the world. Its so stupid that people paint him that way because he's such a nice guy.

Yes Lance did tell me. But we don't talk about Lance anymore.

 

[MrRoboto]

I would think Contador could have taken some more seconds on Andy in the final TT. It's hard to push yourself to the limits at the end of a tour, when you really don't need to.

 

[Captain_Obvious]

As was Andy. As you said it is pointless...

Isnt he always.

 

[biker jk]

It's a stomach full of Spanish beef steak that would be more worrying.

 

[Pantani_lives]

My sympathy for Contador is growing. His opponents are enjoying his bad luck; very unsportsmanlike. I hope he sets things straight on Luz-Ardiden.

 

[franciep10]

I think he sets things straight on super besse
