Re:
Was dating a chick, sorry i *** up my priorities.
He's clearly crushing it right now. This tour is made for him.
It's going to be amazing to see Contador hang on when the sky train goes full *** and froome won't be able to drop him.
No way, Contador just needs that 2014 face, Froome fears that face, not that little rider from Colombia but that face. Why do you think Froome crashed so much in the dauphine and the tour in 2014? He knew what he was facing.

It's all great and well seeing Bertie testing his legs in the Dauphine against the Sky train to see if he could isolate Froome but he really really really needs his boys to stay with him to do the same. You can't blame Froome for hiding behind his juggernaut but if any of the lesser favourites want to stand a chance it just simply can't be allowed to take over.

Re:
Look the video again. Dan Martin attack, Froome cant follow, Contador yes, Froome catch them without the help of any team mate. Later he attack alone and just Porte can folow him.
I cant see where he is hiding.
After that if he is in yellow, of course, as everybody do always if people attack he use his team, and he more becoue he is no so explosive to counter attack at the moment, but he had the endurance to dont worry a lot.

Re: Re:
I respectfully suggest you objectively look at the video again. It's obvious Contador is out on a training ride and toying with Poels/Landa/Froome et al. OK, maybe not toying (although you could argue he was) but he was certainly testing himself against them with his half hearted accelerations/decelerations...enough to destroy the train...my point is won't be able to do that on his own in France...

Time for an oldie
Oleg Tinkoff has yet to reveal his deadliest servant. The one who will lead the Russion armies in war. The one they say no living man can drop. Alberto Contador of Pinto. You’ve met him before. He wrecked Froome on the Ancares. He is the lord of Tinkoff, the greatest of the Nine.

Re: Re:
What is true is that froome didnt need his team to drop Contador.
I am sure he didnt need his team really to catch Contador and other attacks next days, but of course you have a team for something, the same way Contador put Kiserlowsli and Kreuziguer day by day in the breaks.. just in cae he was strong enough to attack at a good level, what he didnt.

Re:
The small option Contador have to win this Tour are to do something in these kind of stages. He has the necesaru experience and tactical view to do it. With rain is for sure he will take time on Froome in this stage, and maybe big time.
Not the b
est route for Froome, but he will be too much unlucky if besides the weather is lot of days bad....

Re: Re:
From the snippet I saw, Froome very much had his team trying to ride down Contador. When they all blew up, Froome tried to close the gap himself. The key word is tried. It wasn't until Contador literally sat up that they were able to reel him back in. I don't know what happened on Stage 5, but by Stage 7 it sure looked like Contador had the measure of things and was confident in his abilities.

But with rain it'll be surely the best stage of the tour. With guys like nibali and contador in the peloton you can rest assure on that one

Rain or shine, this stage should be pure carnage
