VroomSL Posted September 5, 2012 Share Based on today's comeback Contador showed the spirit of a true champion. Made much better viewing than Tdf 2012! 428 others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Unit Posted September 6, 2012 Share I agree that the Vuelta was much better than the tour. However the plaudits for that need to go to Froome Rodrigues and Valverde as well. They all did much to animate the race. But it is good to see Contador back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakkals. Posted September 6, 2012 Share Won't say the best of 2012 - Wiggo sure must be the best of 2012. He won all the races leading up to the tour, think 5 or 6 in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted September 6, 2012 Share I wouldn't said he's the rider of the year, and was about to say his effort yesterday was the ride of the year…but the ride of the year for me is still split between either Voeckler's (the first one) or Millar's stage wins at the Tour.

Speed Racer Posted September 6, 2012 Share Bravo Contador! Yesterday's stage was certainly one of my favourites of the year. Right up there with Boonen at Paris-Roubaix. Conti has shown guts and fortitude attacking Purito day after day. Yesterday's break was worthy of Merckx. Conti took the risks and got the reward. A joy to watch!

'Dale Posted September 6, 2012 Share What is the best? Most combative.Most daring. There are many other contenders too: Ryder Hesjedal.Purito.Froome Dog. All in all, a great year for racing with several new names coming to the fore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasher Posted September 6, 2012 Share For some reason I never really was a fan of Contador but how he has ridden this Tour has been great. I am so glad he hung on Yesterday and got the deserved stage win never thought I would be supporting him like that as I am normally hoping any of the others beat him Either way its been great viewing with so many riders making it one of the best races for a long time.

HappyMartin Posted September 7, 2012 Share Reinardt may have won more races but non of them was a stage of the Vuelta or the Vuelta itself as seems likely. Not taking away from the quality of Reinardt but really it's not a great comparison. Was not a huge fan of AC but he has won me over the past 3 weeks.

jcza Posted September 7, 2012 Share The last week has been great racing & can't wait for Saturday's stage. There may still be a twist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRADA Posted September 7, 2012 Share I wonder why Gilbert seems off?do You think he is down at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted September 7, 2012 Share Gilbert has been the disappointment of the season for me. He says he has been marked out of every race he has competed in. Still his win in the Vuelta was pure tactical class combined with strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
