    Why on earth did Contador put that dig in to drop Kloeden? Maybe Wiggins group can hoover him up now?

    I'd give Ride of the day to Thor - Sprinters aren't supposed to go up hills like that. And it started with a solo climb away from the peloton.
    But how many times did Vandevelde fight his way back to Wiggins. like his life depended on it? :D

    Such a great stage on these last two climbs.


    *edit* Jesus, this thread jumped a page and a half faster than Conti from the Schlecks

    Yeah, but if you have lots of people of a really high standard there has to come a point (in the mountains) where you can legitimately drop one another. It isn't like you get a massive benefit from drafting at those speeds so why not?

    Maybe realising he made a bad move there? Cracking your own teammate and leaving you 2v1 against the quality of the schlecks probably isn't a wise move as good as he is.
