Froome is free to let him go if he thinks Contador is taking risks. Nobody is forcing him to sit right on his wheel.
Ofcourse, but yesterday he was in front of Contador I believe, well it was hard to see because it was in a curve and the cameras were not there yet. But I'm just saying Contador should not endanger other riders. |

Taramae is doing great today, it seems his lungs are starting to being functional again, he is challenging Vacansoleil duo.

Contador was going there first, so what Pelli says seems reasonable. He sits on his wheel and see that he is risking, he can count with crash possibility.

He is really sad case. Mistakes and health are stopping him from being real GT podium contender.

A journalist said this to him and he responded something along the lines of: 'Yes why don't I go and give him the yellow jersey then'
I mean come on, losing even 30 seconds out of your 4 and a half minutes advantage isn't going to do much damage, especially if you start smashing Pantani's/Armstrong's times on Alpe d'Huez a couple of days after

Péraud crashed during the TT recon and apparently has a hairline fracture in the collarbone.

Martin was even faster on the last part.
TT bike on the last descent seems to be a good choice. |
