Bertie saving energy field the Tour, 1:30 lost, let's see who's crazier in the narrow technical descent

He's not, I'm sorry but there's no way he saved energy by not following Aru and others, riders who he could easily follow when on form.

He might have felt he wasn't great and let them go rather than blow himself up, but there's no way he would've let them all go if he was good enough. Not to mention he tried to react to almost every single attack, and he failed each time.

yesterday.. probably he knew he was tired. It's not about letting Aru go. He just didn't have the energy left to chase either. I hope he can recover and limit the loss.

AC is getting old day by day, recovery is always going to be a problem for him

Maybe astana can teach AC their secrets of recovery.

First, the Clinic is that way.

Second, it's not like it's just Astana. Contador is also getting dropped by Kruijswijk and Hesjedal. Clearly today is far more about Contador struggling than Landa/Aru being great.

if astana smart... let the stage go and linked up with aru. That would be a danger for contador. He is going to aganist.. 6 strong climbers. That's a monumental task.
