Alberto Contador on emerging talents in the peloton: "What we are experiencing is cycling"
CyclingThursday, 30 March 2023 at 18:00
Alberto Contador is enjoying cycling from the trenches as a Eurosport commentator and owner of the EOLO-KOMETA team. The Pinto native, winner of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta as a pro, was known for always riding on the attack, which is why he's enjoying the generation he's commentating now so much.
"When we have riders who do what riders like Evenepoel or Roglic are doing or what we saw in the E3 Saxo, if we already start thinking that this is bad?" Contador argued in a recent interview. "What we want is a spectacle. It's clear that you can like one rider or another, but what we are experiencing is cycling. Pure cycling, show cycling".
Contador believes it's a great time to attract new cycling fans because the races are exciting and, in many of them, there are non-stop attacks. That's why he thinks it's a great time:
"To people who have no idea what a bike race is, you put on the TV, explain it to them and they say "madre mia". The attacks, that the first and the second go, are things that have never been seen before. I think it's something to celebrate day in and day out".

- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- If anyone would be interested enough to launch an official survey as to who out of these three should shut up, I don’t know who’d win but I’m due Boonen would be way back in 3rd place.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
