That would be HUGE.Like I said before I have no hopes now and I dont think this season was bad for him,just misses big win (gt,WCH,monument)The Hitch said:Only a rainbow can salvage Contador's season now.
rhubroma said:It sounds as if the intial crash unnerved him somewhat and this is why he was frantically wanting to get back to the front.
Just to testify to the spectacle and entertainment value AC brings to the race, with Froome and Contador out, I honestly don't have much motivation to watch the rest of this Tour.
And I appreciate Nibali. But its not worth my afternoons, as before.

del1962 said:Don't think we will see him agian until next year. Still he won two world tour stage races so not a bad season up until the crash.
That is what I would subscribe to but I was answering deValtos' post.No_Balls said:Both Roche and the others could be right. Its is different views with different intrests.

Miburo said:I'm afraid that Contador is gonna try to avoid an operation so he can ride the vuelta. That might screw over his next season.
As much as i desire to see him ride the vuelta this year, it's not a good idea
Contador was 1st and 2nd in all the stage races he rode this year, that's amazing but i would be a liar if i say his season was a success. One crash can ruin everything, it's painful for me, it must be horrible for him.
Don't be late Pedro said:The important thing is that at least people are not overreacting to a rider crashing out of a race with nothing more that a broken leg when it could have been much, much worse.
LaFlorecita said:As Contador acknowledged himself, with an operation there is a small possibility he can still ride the Vuelta, if he doesn't undergo an operation there is 0% chance he'll ride it.
