Tour de San Luis (2.1) Januari 21-27 (11 WT / 27 teams total)

[Miburo]

we shouldn't take any conclusion consider Contador's season on 1 stage. Ok I expected more but he deserves way more credit.

Besides it's ****ing january

 

[Flamin]

maybe Contador is sh*tting his pants because of a certain court case coming up on Monday

On a serious note, it's not a big deal at all really.

 

[LaFlorecita]

he has pretty good itt. but against someone like van garderen could lose like 2 minutes

in 20 km?

 

[Dedelou]

last year he had no form either and he still did well.

Hey... Don't worry.. Today was beautiful to watch and although we tend to expect more from Alberto.. he did not really disappoint by arriving within a respectable time.. Compare that to Nibali or others who did much much worse. The way the race is unfolding showcases the locals who have the satisfaction of beating Contador in a manner that is spectacular but also shows some respect on Contador's part.. Unlike we have seen by other famous names who don't even bother to work hard early in the season

[LaFlorecita]

but you hear nobody about nibbles

He is a disgrace for cycling

I'm trying to find out how far back he finished.

Where is Parrulo he will have something to say about nibbles methinks

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

in 20 km?

Look at the legs of Diniz. He is at his best.

 

[Flamin]

Contador, Nibali, Purito, Valverde (not even racing) etc.

It's not that odd considering the Firenze worlds this year...

Credit goes to the winner but Alberto is not to be shamed, IMO, he is just getting warmed up for the rest of the tour.

[Flamin]

incredible indeed. magno prado looks in much less shape unfortunately

 

[Red Rick]

Am I the only one who thinks the gaps are pretty huge for climb that on the profile looks like it's just 6km at 6,7%. There have been 30man sprints on longer and harder climbs than this one

Yea in your opinion For Alberto this is a bad result

this is south america. here they attack from the bottom. besides the first big climb was already done so fast only 40-50 guys were left after that

 

[LaFlorecita]

Seriously? Why not?

He doesn't care. He makes it sound like he doesn't know yet but he will end his season after tdf again

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

He doesn't care. He makes it sound like he doesn't know yet but he will end his season after tdf again

he will definitely do the vuelta. imo he won't do the giro

 

[LaFlorecita]

he will definitely do the vuelta. imo he won't do the giro

I think he'll only do tdf

 

[Parrulo]

why would i have anything to say? it's january . . .

good result by andre cardoso, he said he wanted much much more this year and even declined an offer from a WT team to keep the chance of riding for himself. i hope he has a good season

Well maybe because you are the biggest nibali fan on the forum it may be january but I think everyone expected more.
