Hi Alberto
Considering what you have supported mentally on your last tour, you are the best TDF winner of all time. Your 2010 TDF is going to be easier as you will not have to support what did happened to you in this year TDF. As a 3 grand tour winner you are a legendary like Eddy Merckx, not like those who only focus at the TDF. Thanks for the show you did in the tour. wish you the best for 2010.

Interesting quote from Alberto:

If Contador stays with Astana, he’s asked the team to allow him to break his contract if any riders on the team are caught for doping and has demanded that Vinokourov not be allowed to be considered for the 2010 Tour.

I just gained even more respect for Alberto.

Best wishes,
Johnny Oregon

Dear Alberto,

First of all I want to wish you a nice holiday at Curacao.
I think the dolphins like you…(not only them)
Secondly I wish you the best for 2010 and I think Quick Step would be a good chose. But your and Fran’s decision is always the best!
I hope I see you back in Tervuren with the Tour de France 2010.

Your fan forever

You are being wise Alberto: you are carefully examining the contract; you are keeping an open mind about your future team and establishing the important priorities that will help you make your final decision; and you are focusing on the positive when there are those who would try to pull you down. You are a winner; keep the course! In the mean time, we are biting our nails waiting for the final outcome :-) !

I don’t believe it. The folks in the big K can say what they want. Until I hear it from Alberto’s lips I am holding out for the new kit… Of course they will say they have Contador for another year. Yet they cannot even get their license on time.

I am eagerly waiting the word for our man…Alberto

Quoting the Associated press 16 minutes ago:

“ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Tour de France champion Alberto Contador will remain with the Astana team until his contract expires at the end of next year, Kazakh Cycling Federation deputy president Nikolai Proskurin says.”

This should be an interesting year. I guess we get to wait another few weeks to find out what the team roster will be like for Astana.

I’m quoting a news article. Here is what Alberto said: “I will pretty much only think of the Tour de France for next year.”

So…No Giro or Vuelta? Please don’t tell me you are specializing in the tour de france like lance did…You missed the Giro and Vuelta this year.

Are you going to miss teh 2010 Giro and Vuelta?

Say it isn’t so Alberto

Alberto,
Every day…sometimes many times a day…I check to see what’s happening with all the Astana craziness…especially with regard to you. Every day I hope will be the day that will set you free from this mess of a team.

Finally, FINALLY it seems that you may be able to break free to join a really professional team. I hope, hope, hope that is so.

You so deserve to be on the BEST team with the BEST support to work for YOU. You are clearly the most talented rider in the world at this time. I will cheering madly for you again in 2010!
(Hoping to see you in a bit of argyle.)

Yes ……My words – and my thoughts……..EXACTLY – including the last phrase in brackets! I hope you will be able to put out of our ‘waiting’ misery soon!
