Do We Think This is the Real Alberto Contador on Twitter?

We need the discerning eyes and minds of the cafe to help. The english used in the posts is sketchy but he is replying to Lance on Twitter. So? What do you think?
If it isn't him whoever opened this under his name needs to be reported. Twitter UA does not allow people to open accounts imitating real persons. Time will tell.
And yes, I am definitely working up to the 75 word minimum.

if notyet he will be. Lance is enjoying it so much he'll probably
entice them all in. Wouldn’t that be a blast for all of us? Yeah!
This is a very fun off season day here on PdC. I am thankful. I’ve had a touch of SAD this week.
Wait
Aren’t you in SACTO? How do you get SAD when you have 320 days of sunshine?

Oh well, we have had socked in fog for 3 days now
the valley fills up like a big bowl of grey mistiness
I was going to say...
Methinks C has never been to the Central Val in winter. It can be super foggy and chilly.
Hope you see the sun soon!
Don't forget the smell...
a nice mixture of wet cow manure, agricultural pollution, pesticides… and of course there is the San Joaquin Valley Fever… How could she not get an occasional case of the SADs?
Natch
Just July once. So I knows all!

whoever owns it just did some "editing" and is now using all caps in the name.

I think there was a fake Lance on twitter for a while
so this could be a fraud. If this were the real Bert he probably wouldn’t have to link everything to lance’s twitter, I’m sure he would have his own pictures, he’s fairly good you know.

Are you saying Bert is internet saavy?
BTW, here is a list of replies to Lance’s updates. Many are quite humorous. Maybe I am a totally fan but the Levi stuff is hysterical. Lance is teasing Levi on Twitter.
Genuine? My hunch would be...no.
I can’t believe the real Bert would talk openly about needing Lance to help him win the Tour. Bert also has several Facebook profiles, all of which look somewhat dodgy to say the least!
That's my hunch too. I messaged Lance and told him to tell Alberto to get the
real Alberto on it. Hah. As if Lance listens to me.
Compare to his blog
The english is much better there. Perhaps he has an editor for his blog, but I’m voting “fake” on the twitter.
Alberto has a my space page, which from my sources is the real alberto..
and i did find out some info last year from Alberto that hadn’t been released, and then was then released to media a couple of days later..

Yes Manuel is him, on facebook and My Space..
As you know with the Manuel group on facebook, he has messaged me a few times to add some stuff on the group…

I think its fairly well known but incase you missed it,
the Levi on facebook is fake. Fun as long as you know that.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
On a serious note, I don't think these "famous" people, should not allow people to use their name
on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. Any of you lawyery people (you know who you are) have a comment on that?
If i was me I’d be straight on making sure my name isn’t used. But alas, I am not even slightly famous.
That's supposed to read:
On a serious note, I don’t think these “famous” people, should allow people to use their name
He's messaged you? Sweet!
I tagged a couple of piccies of him from races this year. Hope he likes them :-)
Yes.. Helping me out with some of the info..
Said if i need anything else to just message… hehehe.. if only he knew what i really wanted LOL

You two are too funny.
These poor guys have no idea what they have gotten themselves into.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
or maybe they know what they are missing out on, which is why they message hehehe

Agree, I think the international laws need to change
I know in australia it is becoming law that you cannot pretend to be someone else using the internet etc…
