Still a lomg way to go, and I think Contador should be very worried about Armstrong. Sure. He didn't. Have you seen the replay?
He tried and couldn't! It's very simple really.
And if he would for some reason lose 20 seconds on purpose he is an idiot.
Or trying to be a good teammate... |

Well, if you've watched the replay, then obviously you know the exact amount of effort he put in and what he had left in the tank. No point arguing, is there?
If he'd had anything left, he'd have chased Contador down for Evans and Schleck, knocked him off his bike and put 20 seconds into him.  |

And, I'll bet he's not at all happy losing that time. |

since the stage before it is a downhill finish, could that blunt the amt of time contador could even put? |

kinda boring stage with all favourites doin nothing till contador proly got pissed off by low pace at the front...but still i expected better ride from him 20 secs after such effort isnt really what makes him a leader of astana,levi did good job too...what a shame at organisers for stupid profile in next two stages |

I think we wont see real action until Mt.Ventoux
next Pyrenes stages stupid profile...
stage to Verbier is almost like this one, that means a big group of favourites at the summit....
next two Alps stages after Verbier without mountain-finish...
EXTREMELY STUPID PROFILE OF THIS TOUR DE FRANCE!!! |

Now i want to see some high paced climbing tomorrow so there can be some excitement on sunday with all the tired legs. Really need an ullrich to make some excitement with armstrong around. Seems like Lance is the bringer of boring tours. |

Some riders has to attack, therefore I think we will see some attacks the next stages... I think the reason nobody attacked earlier today was because it is always a bit nervous the first mountain stage, nobody wants to use too much energy and loose everything the first real mountain stage |

Just because you are dissapointed with Kreuziger not living up to the hype doesn't mean you can freely bash Contador. |

I will freely bash Contadope. He was raised in Manolo Saiz doping system. He's still doping, like the rest of the dopers over at Astana. |

There is nothing wrong with Andy..third week is time when you will need to peak this year..
Win belongs to Contador..
Wow Wiggins, Wow Martin.
If you see Biathlon (because I still want to keep my ignore button on)...tell him that I never had been Saxo fan.

Bashing Contador for being an obvious doper is kinda meaningless when several of the other riders, probably also the ones that you cheer for, have the same tarnished reputation as Contador  |
