Contadors attack...

garrynolan

...was not like he said. When Schleck attacked he was followed by (I think) Vinokourov then Contador and the rest. As Schleck had his problem Vino sat down and passed him slowly. Contador immediately attacked hard. Saying he didn't see what happened to Schleck was complete rubbish! Did he think Schleck just stopped for a rest? Vino saw it and slowed and he was trying to follow Schleck. Contador should just have apologised. Any thoughts?
Not putting this in Procycling forum as they get a bit overexcited about this type of thing .

Again, you say Contador saw this and he saw that, yet you still don't provide the proof. it's been days since the incident yet nobody has provided any evidence Contador saw the chain off.

The reason is simple. Study the Hi-Def TV.

1. Vino was directly behind Schleck blocking a direct view of Schleck.
2. Contador is shown to have been looking away when Schleck first had a problem.
3. Contadors eyeline is 20mtres behind and some 3 metres below Schlecks wheel (this was on a steep mountain).
4. Schleck is still pedaling when Contador arrives at his rear wheel.
5. Contadore overtakes on the left - The chain is on the other side of the bike.
6. Contador is seen clearly to keep looking ahead as he passes Schleck.
7. Contador is told about 30 seconds later Schleck has a mechanical and is clearly seen looking behind

This is all evidence in Contadors favour, where is yours against?

PS. I'm not even a Contador fan :shock:

Strangely enough I've started to do this on the subject

Contodor won the tour by taking advantage of a mistake so in my eyes he is an idiot!

He denies he know what was happening which is a lie!

It's competitive sport - get over it

That the whole thing. It's competitive. If an F1 drivers gearboxblows do the other drivers stop to wait for him to get it changed?
I think that the whole peleton should slow down enough to let the Lanterne Rouge win each day.
Sorry I'm really not trolling, Just having a bit of a laugh!
