I voted for Alpe d' Huez stage. Following and helping Contador was a tactical mistake.
At that point, Contador was no longer a threat, he didn't have to chase him down like that. His best option was to make his team control at distance and then try to take a few seconds from Evans in the Alpe instead of pacing the group for a part of the climb.
Even if Contador had got back 1min or so in the end it wouldn't have mattered.
