To put it into perspective, today alone Contador got nearly 7 times the points Andy has for the whole season

EDIT: probably also won some PCM $
He was dropped on the Muur, and they'll still climb "another Muur" 5kms from the finish.
Let's wait and see

He has the right attitude if you ask me. No matter what you think of him, you have to admit that he always tries. Andy really should learn from him.
Agreed, he's pretty much the anti-Andy
I thought the same as you at the moment it happened. But in hindsight, Boom was smart by staying behind his teammates and counting on the last climb.
Contador might have over-exerted himself with that attack earlier.
And I think Lars Boom only has 1 real 'cartouche' in a race. Just like in Paris Roubaix, after that attack he couldn't keep going and eventually lost. And in London he was saving his attack for the sprint, which didn't work out. And if he went with Vino/Uran, he'd probably end 3rd because of his 1-attack max
So it's 1 attack and them BOOM?
