Re:
100% agree about his weight. Does not look as sharp as last year and there is no good excuse for that. Every time I see him I can see it. No way do his scales say same as last year.

I know full well that cycling is much more competitive than in the past, though that said I can't see how he showed up for this race with the condition he has.
When guys road the Giro-Tour double back in the 80's and 90's, they always showed up for one thing with their weight right, but I don't see this with Contador and I just can't fathom how after 2013 he could have expected to beat the likes of Froome and co. with his current physical status.
I realize some may think I'm beating a dead horse, but really after Colle della Finestra and the photo's I saw recently I said to myself, he's not going to be anywhere near brilliant enough to do it. A Contador in top shape, doesn't put in a performance like the terrible one on the Mur today.
He'll have to improve considerably to be anywhere near capable of dropping Froome in the mountains at this point.
