Oh wonderful, the guy literally cut the stream 5m before the finish line. Whoever won it was a very strong win on the messy uphill 5% scramble.Contador is the Greatest0

Appropriate starting location for Medical Marvel Alberto Contador

He said today that he hasn't yet made the final decision on his injury for the Tour. He'll make an announcement after a staged crash at the nationals but broken neck is very much the favourite. The neck brace is thought to both visualy impressive and a subtle dig at Froome's riding style.Appropriate starting location for Medical Marvel Alberto ContadorTwitter: @RichN950 -

To be fair to the guy, trauma injury was the only way to go after Froome had first dibs on all the diseases.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

Contador puts in a dig 7.8km from the penultimate summit and drops everyone apart from Quintana. 21 year Pierre Roger Latour grinds back to them, has a wee rest and goes over the top.

Bert and Nairo matching each other up that small hill0

Nairo knows that Alberto knows that Nairo knows it's in Alberto's interests to do nothing to distract Nairo's attention from the Froometador battle which Alberto knows Nairo knows is Nairo's best chance of winning the Tour. Fascinating....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0

Bueno. Congratulations Contador.

Frenchie's got 30 in his 9 man squad0 -
Was a very enjoyable last 16km which was all we got from Eurosport - i.e. the descent where Quintana had Contador in his sights the whole way down but couldn't close the gap.
Shame we couldn't see the final climb up to see how the split came. As Frenchie would say, a 'heavyweight' stage.
Enjoyed the camera work too.0 -

That's poor considering Dutch, German and French Eurosport had it live from 48kms out.
All that happened was Tinkoff led into the climb, Contador made a couple of short accelerations which Quintana followed with ease.
The rest didn't.
The odd man out was Latour who was allowed to go up the road for a bit.
Very timid stuff from the big two. The local shops were completely sold out of panache."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

I imagine Dutch, German and French Eurosport aren't engrossed with a 2nd rate tennis tournament!0 -
I see that Contador persisted with his pistol celebration while the global news media is dominated by a killing spree with a pistol. He may be a talented cyclist, but as a man he's a f***ing moron.
Well said.0 -

On Eurosport Player (£3.99/Mth) they have extra feeds without any commentary. Yesterday afternoon the Suisse and Sud were both on live and very enjoyable. In fact, I think without the commentary you seem to get more atmosphere from the race, plenty of shouting and other noise coming through. Best £3.99 /Mth I spend, but I do have the time to watch all the races.
Seemed as though Contador tried a couple of times to drop Quintana, but didn't , and attacked over the top .0
