What an crazy discussions about who performed better between quintana and contador.
Quintana obviously is stronger than Contador this Vuelta. Quintana praised Contador for being a great strategist obviously showing that Contador was the initiator of the attack. Contador obviously needed either Sky or Movistar to join him in his attack.
Now Sky completely cracked, but if Movistar missed the attack then Contadors assault would've failed so they were both happy to have eachothers help there. They both had plenty to gain and I'm sure Contador would've wanted to win the stage, but he only could've done that if he didn't work in the attack with his current form, but then the coorperation of the attack would've stopped.
Actually I'm happy with all the riders in that attack yesterday as they all had their share of work, allthough I'm sure some knew they wouldn't gain much from it besides contributing to an epic stage.
