Race has gone perfectly for Contador. How could it have been different. The two key points being Monday and the TT where noted here prior to the start and that's how its gone. TT will decide the outcome. At the end of the day Contador is Strong as an ox and that a call that matters.

I missed today, was AC in trouble at all?

Not really no. He didnt have any problems following Valverde. (who made a very nice attack, I must say)

Still very much up for grabs though, Valverde also looks very strong and Contador wasnt exactly great in the last ITT, even though this one is a bit different of course.

This race is a very good tune up for the Ardennes, makes sense he is riding it, even in a support role.

The TT will be interesting tomorrow, hopefully AC has a skin suit that fits well :eek:

So why they wanted him not to the race, but to train?
