The time Contador started training for La Vuelta. Which is... ironic.

I've analysed all the date.
I did the math over and over again.
There is no doubt in my mind.
Contador will feel a slight numbness in his left big toe on the fourth stage.
Off to the bookies! |

Valv for 3 GT top 10s would be mighty impressive and 5 in a row would be mighty impressive, considering two have been podiums. If you go further he's did anothr podium vuelta '14 and 4th Tour '14 but no Giro '15. Class is permanent.

If Valv top-10s 5 GTs in a row, all 3 on a season... woa. Thats why it is to great to be a Bala-fan. Guy is a racer!
Can't tell how stoked I am for him to go. Who cares for the Canadian Classics and a ridiculous WC in Qatar, he would rather race his home GT. Guy just can't stop! What a man. |

Balaverde never disappoints, great to see him in his(!) race.

Its so great to see him honour his country's GT like this. Even if he won't be super, he still attends. He loves La Vuelta and La Vuelta loves him!
Can't stress enough how much more impressive this is compared to Adam Hansen. |

The only big races Movistar wins is La Fleche Wallonne, which is a wheelsucker race Quintana wins e.g never tour, with his bad time trial, his wheelsucker and his low IQ |

I'm not a Quintsns fan so won't be triggered but I guess the Vuelta Giro and TDF, Paid Vasco, Tirreno, Poland among soo msny others over the last 2 seasons even are "small races"

PCM 101: Valv already has 70 racing days and is peaking for the 468th time this season, so... good luck with that. |

Don't show up with logic and arguments to a discussion with Arberg, it's like knives and guns.

I'll admit there is some bias on my part here, but now you're both just getting carried away. I don't really want to start an argument here, but the Vuelta is certainly not "his" race and I can't see the comparison you're trying to make here between Hansen and Valverde. While I dislike Valverde for a couple of reasons, his performances at this year's Tour and Giro have been quite impressive. Still, that's no reason to suggest that he's the saviour of cycling or anything like that. He's just a freakishly good rider with an extremely dedicated fanbase.
