Contador said it himself,he was amazed to come out of the ITT with that big lead,he thought he would have to go full gas in the Mountains to secure the overall title.I think he has spent less energy compared to what he expected ahead of the ITT in the Mountains.
It is 2008 all over again,he can ride to defend,defend without going 100%.
I may not like Contador,but I have to respect him,he is a classy rider,yesterday he wanted to say Thank you to the Dutch kid and give him the stage,maybe he could have gone with Landa,maybe not,but to be honest,I dont think he bothered.He is in the Giro for the overall title,not stages.
