    This guy is a deserter, Contador has to smash him

    Have you been watching Rocky 4?

    45 mins climb or so - long way off from Contador's favourite rider

    I think we can safely say that was a bit of match fixing.
    Looked to me as if Brajkovic could have dropped Contador.
    Been going on since the big chat of Chamrouse, if not before.
    Contador looks as good as he did, this time, last year.

    As for the time, it had to be slow. Part headwind and all those changes of pace.

    Which is why comparing times from different eras and different races and trying to read stuff into it is kinda pointless.

    Happy to be where he was is how I read Brajkovic's expression and steady pace. The power meters should be banned though as its narrowing the gap too much and warns riders when to adjust pace......what you think you can handle as pace should be how races are won not what the computer says. Ban garmin stuff

    Yeah, Floyd's crit was probably nowhere near as high.

    Would have been nice to see Sicard in the mix.

    Good for you. Just quit with the "Armstrong bashing" thing. Whatever you read into my comment is completely in your mind.

    Brajkovic could have won that but it made sense just to let it unravel the way it did... didn't need to take the risk especially early on down the mountain.. gifted sort of..

    I think Bertie thanked him at the finish... there was moments where I thought Contador was going to blow up..

    45 mins but windy...

    There's been a lot of obscure thread baiting in the last couple of days.
    Some very "odd" comments and theories have appeared..........
