We can't say that this vuelta is juste between four, i mean the mountain stage can make very big gap and for example gesink attack 10 kilometres from the finish i think no one will pay attention to himm ( almost 2 minutes ) but if no one react he can mak things worse

Well, Mancebo was 4th and 4th recently. Evans 2nd and 4th, was it? Sastre 1st and....4th? And if it wasn't for the knee injury `Contador could've won the double last year. He definitely would've at least been 2nd.
 a good joke, he was beated by rolland(even if i like this rider)
You somehow missed the first important part..."And if it wasn't for the knee injury"

I, for one, am glad that there's just one TT. If there had been a long, flat one later in the race, Rodriguez and Valverde wouldn't stand a chance.
Now we have an exciting battle with four guys within a minute instead. Plus, I'd love to see Purito finally win a GT. 
I like Boonen and Cancellara a lot, so I'd like next year's Tour to be held completely in the north of France, avoiding the mountains, so they have a chance to win the GC.

And he got dropped in Luz-Ardiden and in the Galibier where he lost a fairly big amount of time. He gained time to the rivals in the descents. ONLY!!! |

Well, do you remember that in Plateau de Beille he was not dropped(means a recovery)? Ok, from there to the Elysees he attacked in 2 stages(the ones that finished downhill) and in the Alpe D'Huez he attacked 2 or 3 times. Was the Knee injury so bad? I don't think so

The Peleton needs to start chasing harder.

they dont care much about the break. the gc guys are only thinking of gaining time on their rivals on the climb, so the break could stick today |

I believe the break will not make it, the climb is too brutal, they can loose minute there easily...

If Movistar and Katusha continues to push, they should catch the escapees. They can't afford to take it easy even for a short time though.
