I think Vino's going to do this. Unless Contador thinks he has something to prove (and the legs to do it) Vino shouldn't lose any time on the peloton on the final climb.

It appears to be a rather dumb effort for BMC to me.

not sure why they're at it either, but who else would chase?
Evans just needs to mark the likes of schlecklet n others for the final climb really

Agreed. They should let him take it if he can.

Eventhough Vino is up there in age and is consider an outsider, they don't want ot take too many chances to let him have too much time.

Remember 2006 with Periero who they gave him 29 minutes back because everyone assumed he would lose that time in the Alps... This is the example they see. Vino has podium and finish 5th, so its kinda like a respect factor involved.
