Who will win la Vuelta a España 2012?

[Angliru]

Seems like la florecita has gotten into me.
I might actually support contador.

Oh m'goodness, the ACF Mafia has officially thrown their support behind Contador! We must have been dropped into an alternative universe without our knowing it.

 

[SafeBet]

Wanna take an avatar bet on that one?

Why is this forum obsessed with avatar bets
There's no room for anything but Moreno in my avatar!

Is this a Sardonic thread or someone's idea of a flat joke?

Dunno. Ask the other 20 who voted for Froomey

 

[SafeBet]

Yes, the moment is near.

I know. We're all witnesses.

14 July

Diehard Andy fans. The dude can't even ride his bike right now and won't likely get more than 3 weeks of time on his bike to prep. This from not having shown much form before his announcement of his not riding the Tour.

Cos on this forum thats the only real betting currency available. And usually its just for a limited period of time. I find avatar bets interesting

Dunno. Ask the other 20 who voted for Froomey

Guess most of them voted on who they wish will win, more than who they think will win. If there was avatar bets on the line in that poll I think it would look quite different

Yesss!! He looks really cute in red btw.

Tbh besides Clinic reasons there is nothing to dislike about him.

Fair enough.
I don't like betting though



And I don't think Froome will take the roja.

Then why did you vote Froome I don't like people that vote not seriously

There's no bigger fan here of AC than me (physically I mean ) but I am thinking we need a thread called La Flo's diary where you just post a daily blog about how awesome he is.

I didn't vote. Of course I want him to win but no idea till he starts racing how he will be competitively. I hope he goes at it like a madman. This tdf certainly lacks someone bringing energy I count on him for.

 

[stampedingviking]

No chance. He will be worn after the Tour. Contador will eat him and the rest alive

and his beef?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

You gotta feel sorry for TGBM. zip. zero. zilch. zippity do da

Look at him

 

[Parrulo]

avatar bets are awesome, i have already spent april to the tour last year with a belgium flag avatar because i made a bet that no belgium nor dutch rider would be on the podium of AGR (thank you very much mr. gilbert <_<) and 1 month with an andy avatar thanks to purito finishing ahead of basso on this years giro.

timmy still uses a cadel avatar due to last years tour (iirc the bet was if evans won the tour he would use an evans avatar forever) and ryo still uses his andy avatar even after his time was done because he grew to like it

 

[Parrulo]

this kind of clinic jokes are what got gingerwallaceafro banned, wanna follow the same path?

 

[Cimber]

[Cimber]

The real question would be, would he test positive after eating Froome? I mean he is not really from within the EU

We had the I Love Alberto!! thread but it was changed into the Alberto Contador discussion thread.

and his beef?

Clinic.

Poor Bauke, I expected at least one member of the Dutch maffia to vote for him.

 

[WindLessBreeze]

Que pregunta mas tonta

Really, I don't think it is worthwhile to discuss cycling topics overhere....I'll follow my own footsteps...........It seems to me that most of you have never raced in a real race

14 July v2.0

 

[gthx_gthx_]

I voted Contador because i want to see at least one GT winner this year who dominates everybody on the climbs. A real climbers.

Too bad De gendt won't go for it.

 

[ManInFull]

He has confirmed that he won't ride Olympics, but that he will try to ride Vuelta and autumn classics.

I will create a new thread just before the start with confirmed names.

But since the Vuelta is not the Tour, Andy will use it to train.

 

[ManInFull]

Yes, the moment is near.

Maybe you should start a new thread: "By how many minutes will Contador win the Vuelta?"

 

[Forunculo]

Contador was today in Valdezcaray (Stage 4)
