Ok, so nobody will be able to stop Froome in the Tour

Because he barely beat a clearly out of form Contador and took about 10 seconds on the likes of Moreno? Yes he's the strongest now, but this isn't exactly a world beating performance. If Contador is 100% at the tour this is far from a done deal.
 
Such a shame for Busche. I was cheering for him in the final - that's for sure.

Better than expected from Contador and Sky wasn't even that strong. Froome and Porte was mighty strong. The rest = meh...

i don't know why DT is so negative, this ain't over.

Contador will be ready for le tour and his team aswell. Even jesus was still there.

The thing is, froome did not try to put time into anyone. Or at least it did not look like it, he just did enough to deny contador the stage win. Alberto was fried in the end, froome looked a lot fresher.
 
Much better then what i was expecting from Contador to be honest.

I had to shut my stream down for the last 100 meters as i just couldn't handle the huge amount of joy from the "international" ES commentators.

And there will be Kreuziger, Roche and hopefully a healthy CAS. It's far from over.

We saw Contador attack and he almost hang out with Froome. Did anyone expect that yesterday?

And he's clearly not near 100%, if anything this stage should give you some hope, not much but still...

Seeing Contador trying to hang on Froome shows me enough, his climbing in dauphine right now is better than it was in '10 and maybe also '09.
