Alberto Contador's Brutal Attack on Alpe d'Huez

@alvarhausser6828 3 years ago

Today´s (september 1, 2020) TdF stage was a mountain stage. It ended in a "1st category" climb. The first attack came when there were 500 meters left to finish the stage. Any good cycling fan miss Contador.

One of my favourite riders, I was at one of the bicycle shows, where he attended, when he had finished and was leaving, i remember seeing him walk past and there was a young boy who had been waiting Contador didn't see him at first, but i remember he looked back saw the young boy and he turned around and went back to the young boy went down to his level and he had a chat with him, signed his magazine and also stopped for pictures, the smile on the young boys face i will always remember...... from that day he became one of my favourite riders, not just for his riding, but for also the way he was that day.....

Thankful that these moments are preserved online. No better commentators than Phil and Paul (rip Paul), they really put you in the moment. I also second others comments, no matter how much juice you’re on that’s a BRUTAL climb. 🚴‍♂️💨🤘

Still exciting to watch nine years later during the coronavirus lockdown of 2020.

I think the title of this video should rather be "Pierre Rolland's Brutal Attack on Alpe d'Huez"

6:57 I'm standing in the apex of this corner (#3) with the French army guys right in front of me. Was surprised when Contador didn't win, but kudos to Rolland. A great Tour. Hope to go back some day.
