Absolutely nowhere, why do you think his biggest fan has completely vanished?

He just came back from 2 weeks at altitude (compared to kiserlovski's one week) but that is no excuse imo

Arguments make one right or wrong.Angliru said:Is Andy being labeled a "whiner" so different than your interpretation of Contador making excuses (i.e. whining) by you? What makes one right and one wrong?
serfla said:Stroke and Lance have nothing to do with it.
The fact that he doesn't feel he's the strongest anymore does.
I won't clarify you anything.
Even plainly written comments you read one-sided.
I've explained several times why those arguments aren't valid.LaFlorecita said:What CS means is that Alberto is not mentally fragile. You are arguing he is. So CS is giving evidence that he isn't.
serfla said:I've explained several times why those arguments aren't valid.
The situations CS is mentioning didn't disturb his belief he's the best.
A different feeling is filling him now.
serfla said:Schleck.
The "whiner" is just an etiquette labeled to him, substantiated with tendentious interpretations of circumstances.
Those who labeled him the etiquette, now have the opportunity to see to whom it's appropriate.

This discussion is really tiring for me.LaFlorecita said:So he somehow completely cracks mentally when he's not the best anymore but overcame and didn't give up in situations 100 times worse. That makes sense.
l.Harm said:It's tiring everyone I guess.
I don't know if it was misinterpreted, but I know that it's his opinion, and not a complain.Angliru said:The statement that "races shouldn't be decided on descentes" was somehow misinterpreted?
Don't be rude.LaFlorecita said:And it's tiring me most. Serfla is just as ignorant as airstream.
Let's get back on topic.
JRanton said:Interesting, but not surprising, that most of the guys fighting for the win at Pais Vasco have suffered a dip in form since. Those last few days were absolutely brutal, particularly the last road stage that Porte won.
serfla said:Contador is finished.
The moment he realized Froome is a real deal (since Oman) he's going downwards.

I'm not glorifying Froome. I was just making a remark related to comments of Contador's fans who hijacked the thread of a race in which he doesn't even participate.
Why farcical?Contadoraus Schlecks said:Your theories about Contador may be correct, who knows. I like both AC and Schleck, but to say that Schleck is stronger mentally is a farcical. It's a pointless argument.

Contadoraus Schlecks said:We are skirting around the edges of a discussion that should be taking place in the clinic, and obviously we can't reflect on such points in this part of the forum.

Froome beasted it today and I think he will probably win Romandie, Dauphine and the Tour.
