Just for fun, we asked this question last week, and took answers in the form of a poll: Can you guess the breed and name of Alberto Contador’s dog?
Well played, everybody. Here are the results:
Jack Russell Terrier named Pakito – 32%
Saint Bernard named Verbier – 32%
Weimaraner named Tour – 15%
Border Collie named Spectaculo – 12%
Bulldog named Lance – 7%
Dobermann named Attack – 2%
As you see, the most popular answers were Verbier the Saint Bernard and Pakito the Jack Russell Terrier.
After his Stage 15 win at Verbier in Switzerland during this year’s Tour, Alberto posed with a lovely canine hostess – a Saint Bernard – on the winner’s podium and at the start line the next day. And a zippy Jack Russell named Pakito seems like a perfect pet for someone who’s known for bursts of rapid acceleration. But unless you answered Weimaraner, you’re in the dog house!
Alberto actually has a Weimaraner named Tour. It was presented to him as a gift from a television station.
hey Mr. contador,
I have seen you sunday at bavikhove Belgium. It was very nice to see you from nearby. I have bought a trek bike too. Not so expensive as yours but who knows, with the years, i will by myself a madone too. I have a trek 2.3 . Very nice bike. I hope you will find a new team for next year because the astana team is falling apart. Don’t go to quick step because they haven’t got a team who can serve you at a good way in de tour of 2010.
I think that caisse d’epargne and team sky have potential to help you. Don’t worry about armstrong. if you are 38 you can’t win the tour again.
Alberto, the best for the rest of the season. If you have a good day, i think you can win at the world championship.
Greetings from Belgium, Andy, Emilie, Noah and Lenthe
