Its the FLEX beef company advert. He says he has beef twice a day, for breakfast in the morning to make him big and strong for the days cycling and in the evenings to relax with a nice sirloin. 0

Flex sell matresses.Alberto Contador and the FLEX company held a press conference yesterday to introduce an advertising campaign starring the rider. The ads will be aired on television starting today and will culminate on May 16, when Alberto will again ride the 2010 Tour de France stage that ended atop the legendary Tourmalet.
Contador said today that he had decided to work with FLEX because “it seemed like a nice idea and a good way to thank people for the support that they’ve given me.” As for FLEX, the company has chosen Alberto Contador as “an example of an ordinary person who tackles extraordinary challenges.”
In addition to the television spots, Alberto Contador’s ride of the Tourmalet stage will be covered live online at the FLEX website, FLEX.es, where people can also leave messages of support for the champion.
The motto of the advertising campaign is “arriba”, an allusion to Alberto Contador’s ability to get up every day in spite of the difficulties that he has encountered in his daily life as a professional cyclist.
Be sure to tune in on the 16th to see him tackling the Tourmalet.

No wonder poor Tusher was confused as to whether Tony was playing for United or City.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -

6hrs solo over three mountains. Heavyweight.After topping the Tourmalet, Alberto – who arrived to the applause of a large group of fans – said that it had been "a very long, hard day, because we ended up leaving a little late (at noon), and doing a stage like this gets pretty long when you do it solo."
Alberto emphasized that, during the 6+ hours of pedaling, he had "very good memories when I passed each place. I really liked the experience, plus we had good luck with the weather."
Alberto said that he particularly remembered "the attacks that Andy Schleck and I did on the Tourmalet. FLEX´s idea has left me with a great feeling."
Contador said that he felt very well throughout the day, "very comfortable," he said, "even though I knew I had to pace myself, because these are very demanding climbs," and especially because "I only started preparing for the Vuelta a España two weeks ago. But I'm the kind of rider that doesn't lose much form, and even though there were 4,600 vertical meters, I've been able to do pretty well."
About the three mountains that he climbed today, Alberto indicated that, of course, "the Tourmalet is hardest, because it's the final one and because of the number of kilometers, but it's also the most enjoyable, even though the Marie Blanque is also noteworthy."

Attacks? He must be mistaken all I remember is two mates riding up a big hill together and hugging at the summit.0 -
I really can't wait until he's competing again. A mountain stage without Alberto is like a broken pencil

What, like this?
Pencil still works though. In fact, if you sharpen the bit with the rubber on it, you have two pencils!

Odd stage profile. Big climb to start off, but surely a descent that long gives everyone a chance to get back on?
Will be a boring stage, fact!0 -

Nothing wrong with cyclists promoting mattresses.
Thats the second biggest chamois I've ever seen!"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
