Awesome vídeo! Thank you, Ted. Alberto Contador Velasco: attack as a way of life or death, victory or defeat. One of the most generous and brave cyclists of all times, pure spectacle...
I was heartbroken and nobody will dance on pedals like him , Fuentes de, Etna, verbier, motirolo such a special rider, but remarkable generation worth watching pogacar in particular what a talent. Completely different style but remarkable posture on the bike everything is fluid from seated to standing climbs can attack long, ride seated high tempo, or attack staccato style. He's special 22 has podiumed vuelta, won tour and liege hasn't finished off podium gc in any race started since 19 years old and just a 6th podiumed or won everything else that year. Pistolero✌️
every now and then there is a person who just stands apart from the Pack and Contador is it for cycling. Nobody really attacks like he does or ever will. Certainly cycling will not be as exciting without him
indeed! back in the days where Contador vs. Scleck is the cycling mainstream! Gosh, never get tired of rewatching all of the attacks of Contador! Splendid!
A legend for sure ... the greatest of all time? The greatest what, Grand Tour cyclist? There are so many dudes who had incredible talent. Nearly no one can use his full potential, as injuries, team orders, teams politics, bad luck or personal reasons become an obstacle. Indurain? Could have won ten times te Tour de France easily if not driving as a loyal domestique for his team mate for years. Ullrich is an exception as physically he was a century-talent, but lacked unlimited will-power, discipline at the highest level, race-intelligence and strategic thinking, so you can argue if he had it in him, but for sure pure physically seen, incredibly gifted rider. Armstrong - though I cannot stand him - without a doubt one of the best in the traits that Ullrich lacked and invredibly focused on the tour. Andy Schleck - tragic injury, incredibly gifted and talent for so much more. Contador's worst obstacle, he never had such a dominating team like the champions mentioned before. Sure he had some good loyal guys, but he had to rely much more on his own perfomance than Indurain, Ullrich, Armstrong or later on Froome. Astana 2007-2008 was such a dominating team, but when Armstrong returned, that team rather rode against him than in his favour. WIth such a team like SKY for Froome or US Postal for Armstrong or Telekom for Ullrich/Riis he would have won more Grand Tours. On the other hand, his forced freelancer riding is what he will be remebered for, which feeds cycling fans with unforgettable memory. Yes, with a team like US Postal, in which other Grand Tour winners escort him to the decisive climb, where he puts his final attack he would have easily won more, but on the other hand we would not have seen such incredible moments like in Giro 2015, when after a defect he smoked the field in his climb. Its good the way it is, he is a legend for sure. The comparison to other legends like Indurain or Merckx is difficult to make.
Thank you so much for such thoughtful comment. Many people dont see it like the way you did. Sometimes I ask myself "how many grand tours Contador would have won if he was in teams like sky, us postal?" For sure much more in numbers. But we would have seen his pure talent. He was a blessing for cycling the way he rode. Look Ronaldinho...he will be remembered forever for his talent
This guy’s explosiveness attacking was just unmatched & on another level. Not even Lance could have followed his wheel in his prime. Very likable, too.
Les meilleurs moments pour moi c'étaient lors du dauphiné 2014 à finhaut emosson et l'Alpe d'Huez en 2011 le moment le plus triste le 14/07/2014 vous savez pourquoi. Mais mon meilleur souvenir sera lors du giro au mortirolo en 2015 quelle leçon de courage Bref mon coureur préféré, ce coureur qui m'a fait aimer le vélo et qui représente la CLASSE et le PANACHE deux mots tellement important dans le vélo MERCI ALBERTO
Hello Guy or girl. I m a big fan of your vidéo. I m big fan of Alberto Contador and i find that your Music is really good for the vidéo. Thank you. Grande Alberto Contador
Hi. Thank you so much for your kind words. Just tried to put together some great moments of his career and combine them with proper music, to make an inspiring video as a tribute to him. Glad to hear you liked it.
Muy buen vídeo! Gran edición. Representa además muy bien la forma de correr de Alberto “atacador”, con el renació un ciclismo que ojalá no se pierda.....
I just found this video and I'm really enjoying it. The editing must have been some hard work and I do really appreciate that. And I agree to the title of this video. Alberto in his absolute best form was really the greatest of all time. Even a Chris Froome has never been able to put on performances like Alberto did in Fuente De, Tirreno Adriatico 2014, the Angliru 2008 and above all the mortirolo 2015. Another thing that I liked about the video was that you also showed the sad and dark moments of Alberto's carrier that cost him even more grand tour wins. Appreciate your work! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It took me couple of days to select the best possible songs and also to put the clips together. It's really demanding job when it comes to make a video of Alberto since he's put many many great shows over the years! I mean too many great and fantastic moments to be included in a short video! Part of the reason that I used those sad crash moments in video is that they inspired me to keep fighting in my life even more! Some people still don't understand what cycling lost as he hung the wheels, but I believe they will get it sometime soon. Some Football (soccer) people say we are so lucky that we live in Messi era! I'd say the same about Contador as it comes to cycling! We were so lucky to see him dancing majestically on the bike.
Very entertaining rider one of the best of his time , I have seen them all since.Coppi and Bobet , which makes me ancient , but to ascribe the title best of all time to anyone is rather a mistake , I would suspect that the people making such statements have not been around for very long and have very little experience.of the sport . I think Contador was a very great rider who always.gave his best and deserves his place in the top rank of pro riders , but the best ever ? Hardly.
You are right and that is probably because I'm so biased in this case. However, I believe with a stronger team around himself and a bit more luck he could have achieved more success and won more races to get much more closer to that title. Thanks for the time and the comment.
@@tohidnikkhah yes I agree , if , for instance he had the backing of team SKY behind him I think one could add a couple more grand tours and , possibly , one or two classics , that would cement his place in the top echelon of the.sport beyond question.
I don't know much French, but if you asked about the songs, they're in description below the video. 1.Artist : Phantom Power Music Composer : Vivien Chebbah 2. Celldweller - The Wings of Icarus
I'm Proud Spanish and Alberto is my favourite , but to said is the greatest is a big statement , is one os the greatest but the king whiteout a doubt is Eddy Merckx .
Well... He never been caught on doping yet Alberto has been. Point? True is that Lance won TdF 7 times how many times did Alberto won? So please stop as i smell fanboys war :)
If I wanted to get subscribers and views, I'd beg for it just like anybody on UA-cam trying to do so placing several stupid buttons on their video and below it in description section! I'm just a regular fan of the sport and Contador himself and made this video as a tribute to all those great moments and memories created by him! Nothing less, nothing more!

I saw a man who never gives up
TREMENDO. Gracias a este hombre me enganché al ciclismo y mi generación le debe muchas cosas. Gracias Alberto

El mejor de la historia, sin duda alguna. Una pena la injusta sanción sin la cual tendría 9 grandes.

cycling ninja 100% agree!!!
Only Schleck could really ever keep up with his violent attacks, and even then.
indeed! back in the days where Contador vs. Scleck is the cycling mainstream! Gosh, never get tired of rewatching all of the attacks of Contador! Splendid!
Era bellissimo guardarlo.......con la bici.......danzava........ Grazie mille Contador.........Dopo Marco Pantani........eri il mio preferito

We miss you Alberto! Nobody rides like you!
Yes he is, new friend here from Philippines🤩🤩😍
I would like to see Alberto and Marco Pantani together in one race...Best climbers all time.
Контадор превосходный велогонщик. Всегда нравится смотреть его атаки на пике невозможного.
Muy buen vídeo! Gran edición. Representa además muy bien la forma de correr de Alberto “atacador”, con el renació un ciclismo que ojalá no se pierda.....
the strongest one .from saudi arabia 🇸🇦 ❤
Alberto SUPER Привет из Кавказа !
Thanks for upload, Alberto is the greatest and the best!
Gracias!
Mon coureur préféré car toujours le sourire et quel combatif 🇪🇸
Great video
Dans l'histoire du cyclisme je n'ai jamais vu des attaques aussi brutales que celles de Contador et Vinokorov.
EN LA CARRERA QUE PARTICIPABA CONTADOR TENIAS ASEGURADO EL ESPECTACULO. VAYA CRACK.
Nôtre vrai A. Contador chapeaux💪 👌
A sublime champion !
I will miss you greatly Alberto!
Eres el mejor Alberto..! Hala Madrid..!
He wrote his name in history of cycling!
Truly inspiring....
his dancing style is best
The Best, THE MACHINE, Mr CONTADOR
The true king of the mountains 👉⛰️

One of the best rivalries in cycling history

Posiblemente el mejor de este Siglo, pero no olvidemos que M.Induráin era un extraterrestre!!!!
Me quito el casco ante este señor la primera vez que lo vi fue en su primer tour de Francia y fue una bomba
This sport is just 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
His attacks are more punchy when he was using the sworks tarmac, the trek looks too flexy when he is standing
Doper!!
very,very,very,good,
amazing not one comment about being banned for doping
As always cycling is a dangerous high speed sport.
il est le meilleur grimpeur en ascension a mon avis
The strongest of all time is Eddy Merckx. The greatest of all time was Fausto Coppi. Alberto Contador is a great champion and I like him.
ALBERTO!!!!! BERTIE!
Peter Sagan left the group.

Luar biasa

Did Contador not crash in any grand tour he rode?
Lol
Contador the king of spain.
Nice climbing attack
C'est quoi la musique de la première partie de la video?
I don't know much French, but if you asked about the songs, they're in description below the video. 1.Artist : Phantom Power Music Composer : Vivien Chebbah 2. Celldweller - The Wings of Icarus
I'm Proud Spanish and Alberto is my favourite , but to said is the greatest is a big statement , is one os the greatest but the king whiteout a doubt is Eddy Merckx .
motifasion,,
best
Uau!!!!
contador El pistolero tu es fort
I didn’t know Alberto Contador was really Eddie Merckx
Wtf not even close to eddie
업힐의 신!
Berty!
👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪👊👊👊
The goat is Armstrong.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
not sure about the greatest of all time, very subjective. My favourite was Marco Pantani, Contador was in the same mould and equally as exciting.
greatest of all time is lance :))) second here contador
well... alberto kicked lance's ass in 2009 so what is that?
The 7 Tour said all!!!
@sills71: Yeah true. Young Alberto kicked ass old Lance at end of his career proves nothing :). Still good cyclist.
the seven tours were wiped out though.
Well... He never been caught on doping yet Alberto has been. Point? True is that Lance won TdF 7 times how many times did Alberto won? So please stop as i smell fanboys war :)
Looks like a doper to me huh lance? Prob not these days. Though
I whana see some cykling not a musicvideo😡
This Ted Nicki is trying so hard to get subscribers and views by sparkling a debate on who's the greatest.
If I wanted to get subscribers and views, I'd beg for it just like anybody on UA-cam trying to do so placing several stupid buttons on their video and below it in description section!

EPO works :p
Contador is doped, is easy
A great explosive attacker, not the greatest, we have yet to see Goat, one that wins lots clean, Emerckx is not as white as white can be
Contador is amazing. This video... the editing and music is awful
Opasen maliov
Great rider but not the best of all time. #merckx
