    Bertie, never stops does he?

    commisaires gave him a favour yesterday, nobody complains, then today he blames a crash on him losing time when he obviously didn't, and has a go at the same commissaires!

    Wasn't he next to Froome at the crash point? And dropped off about 1km after the crash?

    being competitive is one thing, Being Contador is another thing entirely. just doesn't see the negative side of himself...

    Froome even made the effort to close the gap to the very front group at the end. Contador and Porte were just lazy and took the stage for granted. Despite all the nay sayers, Chris Froome continues to show himself as the true racer of the gc bunch.

  • Froome made the required effort, Contador and co didn't. Result: 9 seconds given away.
    Amateurs. :P

    This must be grating as BMC have been riding hard on the front a la Cadel Evan MO and Tinkoff usually do well to place - however the last 3 kms is where the magic happens - good on Froome - it's racing - and how hard would it be to get those 9 secs on the prologue and how simple on a non event stage!
