This is fine, now Contador will be known as the guy who only won the Tour because of a scumbag move when the yellow jersey had an accident.
If Contador wins here he'll have 5 grand tour wins.
One was because Rasmussen got kicked out of the 2007 tour, one was because Schleck dropped his chain, and one was when Leipheimer was stronger than him, and lost to him by 46 seconds which was only bonus time (Leipheimer worked as a domestique for him as well during that race).
Besides the 08 Giro and 09 Tour, Contador arguably doesn't deserve most of his GT wins.
The Leipheimer thing and the Rasmussen one were in the same Tour (2007).
In 2009 Contador won against his own team.
To finish off my comments on this stage, 3 things:
1. I can't remember anyone dropping a chain on a major pass like that....ever.
2. Contador attacking was a dick move. You don't attack there. You just don't. But the entire forum here was on his back. I wonder why you're all on his back but you all defended Boonen when he did the same. That's a rhetorical question, obviously.
3. I don't care about anything else. Voeckler won \o/

Best thing is that Riis is going to go on a long tirade blaming everyone except his own team, when this is entirely the fault of whomever adjusted Schleck's derailleurs last night, e.g. his Saxo mechanics.

Just to make this 100% clear. Proof Contador made the right decision to attack:
For winning the Tour, of course he did the right decision. He was gapped, and was most likely going to loose time. We don't know how much, but I think he would definately lost time.
Instead he is so cynical that he uses his bad day to win time on a mechanical trouble on his main opponent.
