By the way. Could he not have put the chain back on much faster? He stays on his bike for a long time after the chain jumps off.

Seeing the replay from Schleck's attack..... Contador seemed pretty done when he attacked, and he would probably been distanced by a lot of Schleck. A. Schleck accelerated on his right side, he saw Schlecks acceleration all the way, but he could barely lift his ass and start accelerating himself. No doubt he did that 100% cynical, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance today 
And the crowd is booing, I think it's deserved.
I know I'm starting to sound like a fanboy, but I just have to....
It feels so unfair
To me Contador looked a bit stuck in the group and had to take a few minutes to manouver himself out of the group before he could respond. And, he had Vinokourov in front who closed the gap easily.
Stuck? I'm pretty sure he had Schleck on his right, he could just turned out on his wheel. He didn't.
And to me Vino didn't close the gap easily. He accelerated whatever he could, and came up to Schleck, barely, not easily. While Schleck accelerated stronger and stronger, I think that probably was the reason the chain got off. He geared up, a really tough gear, and in some way, that made the chain go off |

If it takes a chain to see some bike racing, so be it.
Grats to Voeckler for an amazing stage win!

Contador deserved that. The crowd honored sportsmanship, and a big thumbs up for that. |

Yeah, it killed the race.
@Andreas - It doesn't take a lot to figure out that clapping is louder than booing. Trust me, i've been places when people have booed. There was a significant chunk of people booing.

You are right. He should have waited. He should have waited when Andy attacked. You know, for sportsmanship.

It was a very difficult situation here... my reading of the situation was that Contador just didn't know what to do. Possibly did not even know Schleck had a mechanical. He did seem to look across to see something going on and did seem to stop his attack somewhat.... eventually but the damage was done.
But then you had Sanchez and Menchov across riding for their GC position. It is not just Schleck vs Contador (despite the fun and games of yesterday!).
I feel sorry for Andy Schleck, but I am not going to denounce Contador for what happened, for me it was a racing incident.

This tour will be remembered not for yesterdays strange tactic racing but by the accident on Port de Bailés...
I lost a lot for Contador this day, the way he didn't slow down to see what the fuck happened to Andy and don't speak of the ardennes since everyone could had been out of the tour because of the oil...

Come on.. Please take the Saxo-glasses off... It's bike racing for gud's sake.. You are saying that Contador should analyse the situation, who's attacking, who's behind me, is Andy in trouple or is it a tech. problem.. Stressful situation. You can't seriously blaime Contador for anything. He had to follow Sanchez as well..?
Andy probably made the mistake with the gears himself.
Chris Anker - saxo team mate - agrees.
