Let Alberto Ride
It’s born. The new site letalbertoride.com is live today after reading a couple of blog posts from Bike Snob NYC, Interbike Times and Cyclelicio.us. Levi gets a nice site and a whole campaign to get him to ride the Tour de France, but Alberto Contador is the defending champ, and he gets a poorly designed site from some Spainish guys with bad english translations. This isn’t right. So I registered the domain which was surprisingly available and setup the site this afternoon. Go sign the petition and we’ll see what happens.
You’re right about the design. The first time I saw Alberto’s site I wondered if it was for real (until I saw the signature count, which was pretty high.)
I’m just curious who will win the signature race now that they both have nice sites.
Good job, Marcello.
Although I respect your work on this site, I simply can’t agree with the efforts behind either the Contador or Levi campaigns.
Please see my article regarding the Astana situation for a different viewpoint, and an analysis that is missing from most discussions surrounding the team’s exclusion from both the Tour and Giro.
