RodrÃguez could have helped. Contador would have given him the stage in that case.

Great recovery by Schleck. But he and Saxo worked very hard today. |

He asked that to Contador, and Conta said no. Or that was my impression at least. |

At least vino didn't win.
And Contador is strongest this tour we've learnt. But Schleck will give a battle on the high mountains.

Another battle fought in the psychological war. What does that make it so far, Schleck 2, Contador 1?

Joaquin Rodriguez was genious great attack. I think the key of Contador escaping Andy was he simply reacted too late he lost 5 meteres before he realised Conta's gone.
I'm so sick of Thor. ( sorry had to get that out)

Indeed. Andy reacted too late and since Contador is more explosive than him, once Contador got 10 metres he was gone. Andy did fine keeping the gap down.
Very nice ride på Rodriguez Oliver. |

Hesjedal got into the break which was good but when the 4 broke clear I knew he wouldn't win the stage but I was hoping he could get time on all the favourites. But that didn't turn out. Still 40 seconds only lost on that difficult climb is very good. |

Perhaps, and in that case Contador is quite stupid. If he wanted the stage win for Astana, he shouldn't have done all the pull during the last hundreds of meters. His tactic doesn't make any sense.

This is probably a day late, and I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but:
According to norwegian tv2, the live ticker of the official website says that Tyler Farrar has abandoned.

No, 2-2.
Contador prologue >>> A.Schleck prologue
Contador Cobbles <<< A.Schleck cobbles
Contador Morzine <<< A.Schleck Morzine
Contador Madeleine = A.Schleck Madeleine
Contador Mende >>> A.Schleck Mende
expect Contador to have the upperhand from now on. |

Just for the record the TDF fighting; Renshaw headbutts and Costa, Barredo fights are good for the sport over here in Canada. They made the SportsCentre Top10 for top sports moments of the week and many find it exciting (for lack of a better word) so as long as cyclo-boxing becomes a sport its looking better for the future. |

His main goal was to get a few seconds back from Andy. A stage win was a possible side-effect.
His tactic made perfect sence. |

Exactly.
I don't think that Vino was too happy at the dinner table, though  |

Except for in the final straight, when he was looking behind - clearly wanting to win the stage - and presumably losing a couple of seconds he might have gained had he gone flat out and given up completely on a stage win

Yeah I got the same impression. He probably figured he could ride a faster time trial over that last few kilometres than he could with help. |
