    Wait until the Tour comes. Contador will be hitting Froome and Sky from every angle.

    Hope Movistar are watching this as their man Valverde will struggle to match Froome and Bertie in the MTF's but be good to watch Sky try and defend attacks like this.

    45s for Contador. Porte chasing. Great stuff.

    Contador recruiting some of the breakaway to help him

    DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT!!! WILL MAKE A GIF OF IT LATER.

    Heavyweight gentleman Contador goes past a Liquigas rider and has him go on his wheel. Then Vichot is struggling, Contador comes past, touches him then points to his wheel and Vichot duly slips in. Witness the real champion, the one the riders love.

    YEA BOI

    I think there may be an urgent telephone call to Chorley / Switzerland this evening!

    Froome has Nieve and Porte with him, Porte on the front.

    Contador has bridged to some of the breakaway, getting some help now on the flat. 1 min ahead.

    Time gaps totally unreliable. Now it is 25secs or something.

    I like the fact that you have no idea what it was about. He wants them for the flat. Nothing to do being a gentleman.

    It's still interesting, mind.

    He's not 1 min ahead is he? It's 1 min from Spilak to Contador, then another ~20s to Froome if the graphics I just saw are accurate... (I just started watching so correct me if I'm wrong)

    That's how I read the graphic but only caught a glimpse.

    Porte killing it.

    Funny that FF is around to post when Contador is attacking, but never posts when it's Froome. Coincidence I'm sure.

    When that happens he's too busy stabbing needles into his Froome voodoo doll.

    Back together now apparently.

    Contador has sat up. Just giving the fans something to shout about. Porte miraculously comes good :roll:

    It can't have been a very big gap if they shut it down during the ad break.

    After that Voecklerista move by Alberto, it's all together now.

    So Porte good. Unsurprisingly.

    Haha no worries, I was thinking "If Contador has a minute on Froome why hasn't Frenchie exploded in delight??" :lol:

    Froome looks relieved. Thought he was going to have an asthma attack at one point.

    Yea boi, did you see that cheeky grin and wave to the camera from Contador. True fan favourite. Wooooo.
