    So what's Tinkoff's plan B? AFAIK next highest GC riders are Rogers 18mins down and Roche 19mins down... guess they'll be going for stages then...
    Plan B got busted by the Bio Passport a week or so before the Tour.

    And his replacement has been sulking in the gruppetto.

    Cancellara and a bunch a of big guys being there again suggest that the peloton hasn't been going that fast and the climbs not being that 'hard'. (just to defend Tony. Although I don't think it's required).

    BBC Sport:

    The word coming in over the Tour radio is that Alberto Contador's crash might have been caused by a bike falling from the roof of one of his team cars after Tinkoff-Saxo changed a wheel for support man Nicolas Roche.


    WTF? must be tripe

    That has to be a mixup of some sort - there would have been no reason for a TS team car to be ahead of the peloton at that point surely.

    I've seen this elsewhere. I find it hard to believe especially as I have also read he was going at 80km/h at time of crash.

    We will see later I guess.
