Don't like Froome but he doesn't panic, and gets himself back on

This is just terrible to watch
I dont get Contador´s thought process, why the frag attack like this when he cant finish it and froome is back again.
He should just stay with froome and wheelsuck until the last 2-3km´s

Froome is in trouble now. No way he would sit there. |

My respect to Froome is just rising for such a smart ride and self-control. Perfect. That guy knows the game. However, it seems like he just made a small mistake by letting them get that gap. He might be in trouble now.
However, can't really understand Contador's tactic, really. He's just exhausting himself with those countless attacks and even though he's slowing all of a sudden from time to time, I do not think that can compensate the energy he spends on acceleration.

It's just Contadors style, he obviously fears Froome and thinks if he keeps hitting him he might crack, also Contador might not be as strong as people think

Ya i know but still its just stupid, neither Valverde or Rodriguez are helping so Contador is only giving them a huge advantage.
Not to mention froome is just there and always close enough to easily close the gap. |

Bad? He did everything not to let Froome reapeat yesterday's result. And was 100% successful about that. He didn't care about Piti or Purito. |

I agree Valverde is just such a huge ....... something not nice.
But still they let Contador do the work and they knew that he would eventually get to tired since he isn't as strong as everyone thinks. |

I think Froome is suffering. But Valverde and Purito should have worked to get bigger gap on Froome. Contador had no obligation to work for them. From tomorrow we will see different race, I think, Contador will mark them but not help |

Still a long way to go in this race but both these guys are punchy climbers and in the end took time on both Contador and Froome

Race continues.
Contador's lead gets slimmer.but at least he took back the 7 seconds which he lost to Froome yesterday.

Maybe. But such a boring rider.
