He should abandon. He can't win anymore and he'll never win a stage unless he's by far the best climber.MatParker117 said:If he rides like that in the mountains, Froome and Quintana will beat him to death.

Kreuzi was beasting it, but 10 seconds tops. Won't matter one bit anyways.hrotha said:What, you think of Kreuziger wasn't there no one else would have prepared the sprint?

Ok, they win the stage, but if contador lost 50 seconds maybe without that,and being protect maybe he just have lost 20 or 30 seconds. Can´t understand it.
And if they want the stage, why the hell Majka and Kiserslovsky didn´t stay with contador? This is stupid.
Really don´t like their options.
I´m sad for the tour, sad for contador, but, things are like they are... Só, lets see...

Their leader wasn't suffering though. Sagan is the Tinkoff leader.

hrotha said:It's simple, really. If Contador is seriously hurt or sucks in general, 10 seconds ain't gonna make any difference. He won't be anywhere in the GC, and this stage win might well end up saving Tinkoff's Tour. And if Contador isn't seriously hurt and can recover, then sure, he lost some time, but it's not like it's over. If your leader can't stay with the other contenders in a finale like today's, no amount of babysitting is going to help.

And judging by Tinkoffs reactions after Sagan crossed the line he couldn't have given a damn about Contador today.
burning said:Yeah tinkoff should have sacrificed stage and yellow jersey for 10 seconds, that really makes sense.
