Who will win la Vuelta a España 2012?

[airstream]

No you must be mistaken, Alberto is the real deal, have you seen my prediction on the first place, Andy finishes 5th, 1h39'02" after Alberto IIRC.

hard to believe you as you follow alberto rather than cycling itself. sadly i don't expect andyto enter the vuelta.

Lol, probably some new July fan sky fanboys are looking at this poll and thinking "Who the hell is this Alberto Contador Velasco, why does he have so many votes?!"

They won't be on here once la vuelta starts!

 

[airstream]

has froome's start already been confirmed?

Hm, that would be sad yes. But anyway, if Alberto wins without Andy there, people will say "But Andy wasn't there!"

And if he wins with Andy there with a big advantage people will say "But Andy didn't have good form!"

And if Alberto wins with Andy there with not a big advantage, people will say "But Andy didn't have good form so he would've beaten Alberto if he had had good form!"

It doesn't really matter, we won't see a real battle with both "on top form".

True, true..

Señor Steak will win.

Havy how dare you!

 

[Red Rick]

I believe it will be:

Alberto

Jesus +17'46"

Purito +26'52"

Froome +39'24"

Gesink +1h02'36"

Schleck +1h35'02"

It will be a massacre.

That's the Fleur we knew before the ban

I really don't get this "July fans" thing. None of the people who have voted for Froome are July-only fans and why would they vote in a vuelta thread if they are July-only fans

They wouldn't even know what Vuelta is. Remember, Cycling doesn't exist outside July for them.

Froome goes with Henao and Uran, so there will be a battle

No, no, I'm not saying they voted.

Wow that means double confusion.

 

[LaFlorecita]

But not between Andy and Alberto, doh!

 

[Red Rick]

Alberto! Alberto! Alberto!!

That's not the first place, that's the whole podium.

Also, Bola is kind of AC's home climb right? Those last 3km's will be half as steep once Contador is done with it

Lol.

There will be lots of support for him, I hope he can win the stage.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I can't believe I am saying this but....VAMOS ALBERTO!

Lol ACF what are you doing

Good to see someone voted for Condor, must be a member of il Dutch Mafia

 

[vcampbell]

Alberto FTW.
Henao to podium.

Well I don't like many of the other riders so it is either Anton or a realistic option like Alberto. Maybe I am getting a bit carried with my chanting for Alberto!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Señor Steak will win.

Lol, I like Contador and I hope he wins La Vuelta, and the TDF next year and all.

But I will call him Señor Steak from now on

Vamos Señor Steak!!!

Why call him Señor Steak when he has such a beautiful name?

Fleur, the "beautiful name" type comments are a little creepy!

What, why do you think I always call him Alberto?
