    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    If Contador had been on a nature call at the time Schleck attacked, that would require a thread 5 times as long as this one. We don't have any video that shows where Contador was. There is no indication from any source that Contador was doing anything besides riding at the time of Schleck's attack.

    That's Van den Broeck (Lotto). You can tell by the red/black/white shorts.

    I stepped through the linked video frame by frame, and no frame shows AC riding hands free, messing with something in his jersey pocket. If you can post a still that shows that, then I'll believe it, otherwise I will assume you made a mistake.

    I knew 4 seconds after the rear wheel jumped, because that's when Liggett/Sherwin said "Oh what's happened, his chain's off", before Contador passed Schleck.

    How about giving the whole SaxoBank team a 39 second head start tomorrow? That could be interesting.

    In fact, when you're riding up a 10 percent grade, it's very, very easy to "instantly switch off".

    The official debate: Should Contador have waited for Schleck?

    The Tour has its written rules and its unwritten rules. The written rules do not say that Contador has to wait. The unwritten rules say he must wait. The written rules apply to all riders. The unwritten rules apply to only those riders with a conscience, who cares about decency, fair play, and...

    In the record books, Alberto Contador's 3rd Tour de France win will always have an asterisk next to it.

    Lance v. Lemond - Lemond comes clean?

    It's not in the clinic because nobody cares about the rules. Ironic.

    Is Schleck betting everything on the Tourmalet?

    Also, if I recall, Cancellara was upset that he lost, because he believed Contador gained some time at the end by drafting behind a car.
