Rasmussen suceeded his longe range attack on his own. Nearly taking all the pulls on his own after getting clear. Without loosing much time on the chasing and fighting favorites group behind him up to Tignes.BlurryVII said:staubsauger said:
Haha good one
Let's not forget AC emptied himself with several attacks trying to go alone get a Jersey that Rasmussen earned in a breakaway.
He was dropped by Leipheimer as well, which shows that all those attacks clearly affected him. He was young as well.
Contador failed to round off his longe range attack. Despite having a teammate with him and was caught by the favorites group again.
Rasmussen was able to crack an empty Contador after a nearly week long man against man battle on the slopes of the Aubisque.
Contador failed to crack the struggling Rasmussen, who hang on for his life and managed to lose no significant time.
