I also counted two seconds between Alberto and Purito not one.

Don't think it'll matter much in the end though.

Not saying it will, but purely from a racer's perspective it just peeves me that they can't be more damn acurate. If I cross the line 2 seconds ahead of a rival, not 1, then they better get it f-ing correct. Period.

I agree, it's frustrating. Oh well.

I counted 1.3 with a stopwatch

Ma vaffa!!!!

one second .. two second.. still arguing??.. For sure? he looks like he was suffering (btw look behind: froome was busy looking at his power meters )

 

[LaFlorecita]

Damn are there any pics of Quintana? Contador looks about 50 so Quintana must look 70

 

[Jelantik]

aarrhh.. maybe everyone here was right. Contador got a good legs today, he might have messed up and let Tejay and Bardet slip away..

“It was a day of cycling when it’s hardest. The truth is that I had good legs and perhaps I should have tried something else, but at the end of the day, I’m happy because my legs are fine. Tactically, you’re always wiser after having crossed the finish line. The race is still open, there are still three stages to go and important things can happen. The crucial thing now is not getting cold, recover as best as possible and tomorrow will be another day. From here to Barcelona, the terrain makes it more difficult to attack but it’s not impossible,” says Alberto Contador.

Looks like something in store .. for more.. Lanciano everyone??

Argh stupid Berto oh well

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think maybe Contador isn't very confident yet so doesn't dare to attack more than a few 100m out on a mtf... But he must be regaining some confidence

Yeah, I think that the moment he beat Purito in a sprint was the moment he realised he ****ed up tactically

 

[Netserk]

I think it had more to do with the cold than his confidence.

Alberto Contador ‏@albertocontador 13m
Hard day of cycling today. Cold and snow. In the pic it looks that I'm 10 years older than yesterday! Keep working! pic.twitter.com/tP8BYnSvMU

Keep working buddy.

Holy Smokes, d*mn he was indeed suffering, and he looks +20 years older!

Haha. Still no scientific solution for fogged up sunglasses, dew on the power meter and plenty of blinding mist.

 

[trevim]

The solution for the sunglasses is simple: just put them on the helmet, you don't need them anyway

wow!Dawg had to be really ****ed off coz he couldnt watch on his stem through the snow

Purito said he started the sprint early on, so that's perhaps partly a explanation Alberto beated him at the line.

Yep, probably.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Hahahaha Bertie 6th in the bunch sprint hahaha vamos

 

[Arredondo]

Love it how Contador desperately tried to grab some boni's.

I don't think Contador can drop Purito on the climbs. Today he attacked, but Purito answered really strong, he reacted quite late.

The only possibilty is that he surprises Purito in the sprint, because today Rodriguez rode tricky in the finale.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yup, it'll be very hard to drop Purito. But at least he'll try

 

[Afrank]

Hahahaha Bertie 6th in the bunch sprint hahaha vamos

Add in "how he takes on the sprinters in a bunch sprint" to the quote in your signature. Yet another reason to feel fear.

 

[Arredondo]

Yup, it'll be very hard to drop Purito. But at least he'll try

And that's why we love him
