Re: Re:

Contador is going abandon next few kms.

He should stay in the race, if only to help Sagan win the green jersey.

I think it's bs. He's completely beat up and only wrecking himself.

If he wants to stay, sure, but looking at him last days he should quit. He's only wasting the rest of his season because of putting his body on way to much of pain and no time to recover.

Tinkoff have a car in the feed zone in case Berto wants to abandon

Re: Re:

Riis: "It doesn't make sense that Contador should have fever this morning when he goes on the attack like this."

Why's he so bitter.
There was nothing wrong with him and Contador.

lol, the last person who's bitter towards Contador is Riis. He's one of his biggest fans. He said yesterday that if Contador didn't crash he would rode away from them all.

I guess he didn't mean it literally, but if Contador was at his usual level, i think that him, quintana and Froome would've dropped the other.

He would've definately do something.

Sky must be happy when a smiling Rowe is leading the Sky train on todays second 1st cat climb...

In 2006, Pereiro finished the Pyrenees sick and many minutes behind on GC. Should he have gone home?

All aboard the Sky Express!! Next stop, Paris!
Seriously, are we going to have to watch this disgrace for the next 2 weeks?!

Yeah, Movi and Tinkoff were really close to *** up Sky's day, but they didn't quite make it.

I think Phonak and Sky are very different teams...

Do you think they would give Contador as much leeway as they gave Pereiro? Also it's simply not a similar situation

 

[DFA123]

Anyone know how many, if any, Movistar riders are left in the break? Looks like the winner is going to come from there anyway, with the time still going out - it's a nice climb for Dumoulin if he could get clear, or maybe Rui Costa.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

To say Pereiro managed to turn that Tour around is an understatement.

 

[rick james]

Bertie steps off

Re:

Bye bye Berto

See you at the Vuelta!

Re:

Bye, bye, Alberto. Lacked the Pereiro spirit today.

 

[Hayabusa]

Goodbye Alberto.

And Phonak wanted to get rid of yellow jersey as their team was atrocious

South

 

[70kmph]

Bye Alberto

 

[spalco]

Never been, never will be a fan of Contador, but that's sad.

 

[TommyGun]

Chapeau Campeon! We will always be by your side!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

He's gone Sad, but it's the right decision. And it all makes sense. He needed this long range attack even though he had no chance of making it to quit with pride.

 

[SeriousSam]

no mas

 

[Eclipse]

Contador quits

should be an easy Vuelta for him

 

[Punkan]

Feel bad for Bertie. Preparing all year for the tour and now this.

 

[portugal11]

Finally, contador can now relax and focus on vuelta
