LOL.. Contador will save energy? didn't we learn anything from 2011? He didn't have to attack yet, still he smoked everyone in Etna. I won't hold my breath that he is going to think about Tour now by saving his energy. It's not his nature to think too far ahead. Even up until today, he hasn't said anything about the tour. His head in the Giro right now. He lives in the presence. I bet he will still go full gas to get stage win! Tomorrow is a good chance to grab a stage. It's at the end of the week and everyone is tired.
The one big difference is that this year he is specifically preparing for the double. In 2011 he wasn't.
sure. sure. no doubt about that. But this is Contador we are talking about. He'll finish one goal first before move on to the next. Just an example: Didn't his team had hinted that they want to let go the pink jersey? but look who's stubborn enough to keep it? Contador. (sure Astana screwed their plan). But still, he fought tooth and nail w/ Aru on 1 seconds for god shake! So I won't hold my breath that he is not going for stage win. If he sees opportunity, he'll attack and go for it. Time after time time, everyone says.. he doesn't need to attack, .. but sure enough... he attacked. On stage 11, when he accelerated, even his team mate Rogers was saying he didn't know what's that all about.
Rogers said it best: "with Alberto, you never know when the wind blows". Kinda sum it up.
