   He's in real trouble if Astana get organised on the descent

    poor form and shows he is worried by him Shleck should take it as a compliment but someone should go and have a word with him.
    Shame to see winning at all costs i mean drug cheating* is one thing but this is just a step too far

    * I am this in general at cylists and not at contador

    he is certainly breaking the rules of the road/ the spirit of the competition in his actions and he knows it so yes cheat seems fair description fot this unsporting action

    If only Sammy Sanchez wasn't such a good descender, Contador wouldn't be stretching the (undeserved) lead on Shleck

    Posted 1 year ago #
24. don simon - Member

    I'm genuinely interested in knowing which rule he's broken. Spirit of the competition? Should he stop for a puncture? It was a mechanical failure FFS.

    Nice one Contador, it's a race not a club ride!

    all got a bit sideways for one of them a few minutes ago.

    team car is pulling up with a pair of clean bib-shorts for him now.

    That's poor from Contador - if he'd just kept up his pace when Andy's chain came off it would have been touch and go, but he properly attacked... not on, really

    You don't stop, but you wait for them to catch back up. You don't attack.

    don simon, you wait for your rival if he has a mechanical, its the way its always been. A true champion doesn't want to win like that. if (when) Contador wins, it won't be remembered for a great TT, or for a great attack on a mountain, it will be remembered for a cowardly attack when Schleck was down.

    thats better

    nah, I always thought it was a case of if your rival is down then kick himn in the face because you'll likely be next.

    Schleck lost the yellow on the descent though, not the climb/chain shipping incident. Contador will be buying Sanchez a drink or too later!

    Yes and should be won fairly because you are the better rider rather than because your opponent had an unlucky mechanical.
    Poor behaviour from Contador clearly worried but in yellow now

    Sorry rob was his chain on or off when he was dropped?
