Why can't they create something more artistic and not this glass?

Actually, I read somewhere that they used to ride in one team and Liberty Seguros came to my mind, however I was wrong, it was ONCE Eroski, before the team became Liberty Seguros.
If I remember correctly, the article was related to one stage in the Tour de France 2010 where Alberto attacked, Joaquim followed him, then they both sprinted and Purito got the win, exactly similar situation as some of the stages in this year's La Vuelta.
In the article, Purito mentioned something like this: "Alberto knew that my top speed (in sprinting) was faster then his."

No. Shortly after the Giro last year he prolonged his contract with Astana for two more years, where they (Astana) said that he was worth more now, as he could win stages in GTs. They are very good friends, but they have had their time as team mates IMO.boladelmundo said:Would Paolo Tiralongo move to Team SBTB next year?
Alberto surely has to pay back something to him after that work on Stage 17.
I gave him about a 90% chance of beating Rojas at the Spanish NC last year though.burning said:Well IIRC, Contador only won a sprint against Rasmussen, his other victories are either solo or ITT, his sprinting is pretty much not a threat to anyone

boladelmundo said:I feel like dejected now.
No more GT until next May, ufff...can't live with this.
So I guess the next big one is the World and then Giro di Lombardia then.

Libertine Seguros said:Alberto owes him nothing. They're even now. Alberto towed Tiralongo to his first win after a decade-long career at last year's Giro, Tiralongo was paying him back.
