i think contador wants to break porte first.

froome is not looking that comfortable imho

Every single time people have repeatedly said froome does not look good he's attacked and gained time.

I think it's more wishful thinking

For clarification: do you think he's a selfish rider full stop, or do you see him as a domestique who doesn't do his job?

He's the most selfish rider I've seen since Luis León disappeared from the scene.

He's obviously a talented rider and by all means, he should get chances to do things like today, as well as being the team leader in smaller one-week races which he's obviously capable of winning brilliantly.

But there are other scenarios where he has no excuses not to help his leaders, and he just never does it. When he can't get anything out of a situation for himself, he drops or just sits there comfortably letting others do the work.

I have zero respect for riders like him.

A Danish commentator was asked how Froome looked (doping hinted question) two days ago when he crushed all of the other riders. "Like sh!t" he said. "Froome is always looking like sh!t when riding". Kinda funny :)
