Extra-terrestrial performances

[linnega]

 

Look at the route it was not a flat leipie stretch but nice hard favoring valverde he had some impressive rides on hard TT courses before

Really - perhaps you could point out just one.

 

Coming second in a vuelta d'espagna time trial leaving from Granada. A bit more hig level race even then this one 

Just remembered this post.  Forgive me if I take ALL Vuelta performances with a dollop of salt.  Roberto Heras blitzing the competition in his final "win" at the last TT, a splendid example.

A few weeks ago we were talking about the rather remarkable performances of the "out of form" and "beach holiday"ing Alberto Contador.  Well' date=' I think we are seeing a truly extra-terrestrial performance from Valverde at the Dauphine.  Having never come close to beating Leipheimer in a time trial (their head-to-head record was 9-0 to Leipheimer), Valverde was able to win the Dauphine's first ITT.

Clearly the docs that have replaced Fuentes have some very special preparation techniques.

 - Hee, Hee, taking me on with my own comment eh Linnega.?

 

Well, Yah, there is a lot of speculation around Valverde and the blood the Spanish Judge refuses to hand over - purportedly belonging to him, but somehow, I just believe him, strange I know, but there ya go.......!!

 

Now Contador..........................well lets just say I wouldnt buy anything from him if he advertised cheaply here either.!

 

Biased huh.!

...........but above all that, I see Levi has also tipped Valverde as the man to beat for this years Tour as well.

 

Levi and I think the same it seems.!

 

His comment, "Valverde is super strong, Cadel is riding for second, he thinks he cant beat Valverde" speaks volumes.!
