Yeah a bit shit from Rolland, but he is well down on GC so it doesn't make a huge difference. Still, he shouldn't have done it.

People get annoyed when Rolland attacks when another GC contender has mechanical, but when Contador done it the Schleck no one cared in the group that day!

Dumb move by Rolland, it's not like he stands a chance on the flat against the Sky group, whatsoever. |

All the last 10 minutes lack is the Benny Hill theme.
Evans punctures on the top of a pointless climb and curses.
Then you watch Evans stand there in speed-up mode and then Cummings come and punctures.
Switch to the screen where Rolland attacks.
Back to Evans and the slipping mechanic.
Song over. |

Here Rolland was at 2/3rd of the group when Evans got his flat. That's different, IMO. |

Not that much down. Guys like Brajkovic, TVG, Zubeldia etc. must be afraid now as he is 9th.
Kiserlovski was on the ground. |

Well, Sky look like they're waiting, my opinion of them has increased, not because it was Evans, it could have been Nibali or Even Zubeldia (who also just had a mechanical) it was nice of them. Or maybe they're bored and they're waiting for him to see if he attacks so they can actually do something.

Rolland makes a pointless attack downhill in a scenario that makes no sense whatever.
Contador was isolated with Schleck on a climb.
Not at all comparable. |

Probably means that we will never see Mur de Péguére again - the Mavic car missing Evans is quite a disaster to ASO. |
