Contador attacked in every MTF bar Zoncolan. How could he make it more exciting? |

Well, if he's the best, and if he's got the legs, you can't blame him for being boring 
You can only blame him if he's doing it being doped

poor Garzelli,he deserved that
Not really, he overrestimated himself and burned out too early. His own fault, should know better at this age.
He did what he had to do. He was just unlucky there still was someone strong enough to continue the pursuit like Nieve did. But you can't blame him for doing what he did.
He did what he had to do to win a stage, but he didn't do it very smart if you hit the wall with 30 km to the finish you have miscalculated.
Smart or not he didn't have anything to lose. That's the way he's been wining stages in the Giro for years, so why change?

I admire his climbing abilities (despite the dope), but I'd rather see riders fighting against each other (like this https://3.bp.blogs...+puy.jpg), not just one rider attacking and that's it for the rest of the stage.

If there were 2 more kilometres of climbing today Contador would probably catch Nieve
Go Roman!

Excitement requires competition
Contador can be as impressive as he likes, its just not exciting if theres nobody close to challenging him.

That's hardly his fault. As it wasn't Gilbert's fault his domination in the Ardennes. |

Euskaltel had never won a stage in the Giro. Now they have two back-to-back wins on two incredible stages.
Great Giro for them

Fun fact mentioned by the Danish commentators (= if it's wrong, it's not my fault ): Until this year, Euskaltel had never won the a stage in the Giro. And they've been around for 16-17 years... |
