Miburo said:Do you think Contador will just wait ? lol Not his style
Although I hope he will and saves up everything for the last time on the cauberg. The rest of them should make the course hard.
That's what the fanboy in me hopes. He can win it, besides he's a great TT'er so after the cauberg it should be easier for him to survive on the flat part.

Miburo said:Not a bad idea but don't work in the break, he has valverde and purito so he doesn't have to work and then poef away lol
But let's first see what he can do in the ITT
And Freire, is he invisible? I see Valverde going on a late attack few km from the finish.LaFlorecita said:He should go in a break. They have Purito and Valverde if it all comes back together.

In comparsion with Alejandro he is,he has better sprint-form nowadays than Freire...I know he was 3rd at ParisBrussel but stillcineteq said:And Freire, is he invisible? I see Valverde going on a late attack few km from the finish.

Someone ask about why Lulu wasn't on the list. See the last 10km Olympics and his words after the race

Tactical flop? You mean something like what Wiggo's boys did at the Olympics?

Luisle is tired as seen in GPCQM.
