Cav' Posted March 12, 2017 Author Posted March 12, 2017 Crying yourself to sleep tonight, Cav' ?Berto's luck should turn eventually.
Gen Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Berto's luck should turn eventually.Form is looking good.. as it did last year.. he just needs to keep the rubber side down.
'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 The disappointment on Alberto's face was so clear in those close-up shots What a racer Respect ⭐️
GrumpyOldGuy Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Berto's luck should turn eventually.Yah, De La Cruz didn't earn himself any friends today, in my opinion very negative racing from QST. But you cant keep 'Berto down, always respectful and positive, and he earned a lot more respect and friends on the road today,it would have been a boring snore fest crawl through the stage today had he not been there.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Did you expect De la Cruz to just hand Contador the victory?Of course not and he didn't, however in my opinion he raced negatively, had he worked with 'Berto they could have both benefited.
'Dale Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 "When I went in the break, I knew Alberto would try, he always go to the end. I had to suffer a lot on his wheel but I was able to manage. When I saw they weren’t catching us, I tried to ride carefully to win the stage.” de la Cruz
dsw Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Contador lost the race during the first stage when he missed the break in the crosswinds.
dsw Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 “I’d like to dedicate this victory to the team, the staff, and the mechanics, but especially to Dave Brailsford. He was always there when I needed him. He was there when I was injured when I crashed several years ago and my knee was destroyed. He always supported me, and he never gave up on me.” Sergio Henao.
Bub Marley Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Of course not and he didn't, however in my opinion he raced negatively, had he worked with 'Berto they could have both benefited.Why should he work with 'Berto though? They're not teammates. He only has his own interests to look after and he rode smartly. He knew Contador would have to go full pelt and he knew he would burn out. It's just clever racing and it got him the win. I'd have done the exact same.
kosmonooit Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Sergio really rode well yesterday, did you see how long he pulled in the front of the chasing group once he had not team mates left? Not taking anything away from El Berto's performance either, that was great to see But wasn't de la Cruz 'entitled' to sand bag him in the break and snatch the win given that team leader Dan the Man was in the chasing group and going for the podium?

When he is gone I don't think ill watch a lot of cycling... he will be surely missed ! To race like that on "that level" is something special and ill always remember he's fighting spirit !!! As Dale says "what a racer" !!! Respeto !!!
