Just because you are dissapointed with Kreuziger not living up to the hype doesn't mean you can freely bash Contador.
We have already two frustrated persons..ruben and Roman.

Andy Schleck looked very angry when he finished today's stage.
I just read why: He says that Contador delibatelery used pace from the 25 motorbikes in front of him.
My idea: Attack as the first one next time, Andy. There gotta be some advantages.

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 
Indeed ..guy is btw. best in the world..and we will get so many new Contador fans when the tour is over.
Edit: stop whining Andy..time to ride..
Edit again: Isso how the hell Bruyneel can calculate that 6 sec. between Nocentini?
For me that was messy stage for Astana. Bruyneel was looking confused even before the start.

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!!!
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
It's not going to happen. Not tomorrow, not on sunday. Np uphill finish means no attacks. The finish is just too far off. None of the favourites are going to attack this weekend, which again put emphasis on the ridiculous route this year. There's only true uphill finish left in this tour, only ONE(!!!!!) stage where we will see the favourites fight it out, well there's one more very tough alp stage where they will most likely attack, but not this weekend.

Verbier will be exactly like this stage....the finish mountain just isnt enough steep and long, and there ist almost no major obstacles during the stage...
some riders need to attack right at the bottom of the climb, not 3km to go...

The reason nobody attacked today was because it is too early... Sastre, Evans and a few others have to attack, and Verbier is one of the few oppertunities to do so. When they first attack wholhartedly you will see another race |

Wiggins 
It felt odd today though, semi-cheering on Contador because I dont like Armstrong even more than I dont like Contador.
Frustrating there wasnt too many attacks though, the route is anti-attacks in the mountains enough as it is. |

Yes the Col de Romme and Col de la Colombiere combo is deadly.

Wiggins was for some reason very angry after the stage today, which is a very strange reaction to doing such a fantastic ride. |

Ok that you can't type normal English, I'm used to that, but would you mind getting off my back? Everytime I react you are the first one to react to it negatively. Just fuck off Guido. Seriously. Last warning. |

Several favorites were extremely angry that Contador attacked with the help of the draft of the motorcycles for about 2kms, which is conducive to a penalty, yet the ASO did nothing.
