GrumpyOldGuy Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 "I had very bad sensations," said Contador, getting right to the point. "Also climbing La Rabassa, I felt it already. I don't know what happened to me, but I felt super, super weak. Even when we went at a relatively calm pace, it was difficult to be there, and I decided to tell Peter (Stetina) just to try to pass the day as well as possible and wait some more days to see. I hope that this is only a bad day, maybe because of the lack of competition. "Now the most important is to recover and try to find the reason why I had such a bad day before deciding the next tactic. In any case, I want to enjoy this Vuelta; it's the Vuelta where I am the more relaxed in my whole career, and I am enjoying it to the maximum. For sure, I want to be more ahead; I couldn't today, but I'll try on next days." http://www.treksegafredo.com/news/la-vuelta-first-mountains-take-bite-out-contadors-gc-ambitions Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkYah, I caught a bit of the last climb on a replay, he was certainly not himself, he is way better than that. Sad to see on his last tour, I think he hoped for a good one, but bad days catch up to everyone at some stage, no one is immune, and deep down every athlete knows that.

Patchelicious Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Despite all of this he's still ahead of that wanker Rui Costa. The least that Costa could do while sitting on the back ALL the time, is give the guys a little reach around! A little "thanks for letting me suck your wheel all day"....

Bonus Posted August 22, 2017 Author Posted August 22, 2017 If it's as hot there as it is here I don't know how those guys are turning the pedals. 37 degrees with a strong hot wind!
