The "Wink"

Did anybody else notice the "wink" that Bert gave Andy after their finish line hug? Any ideas what that might have been all about?

but seriously did it indicate collusion ( a deal)? Was he putting White Jersey Boy in his place? A pistol shot from the eye?

Contador wanted to make sure the world knew that he gave Schleck the win. He didn't want any confusion like the whole Armstrong/Pantani Mont Ventoux episode.

So............ wink wink!

Which is pretty un-professional. They chatted a bit up that climb and I'm sure after Contador's last attack the deal was sealed. Contador should have just left it at the hug...

if course we noticed the wink, Alberto has the biggest eye brows i've ever seen!- Andy nearly got crushed under the weight of them.

Nothing in the wink, just respect between riders and probably a sense of 'great ride, but i'm still here'...

Just saw the wink with associated cheek patting.

Kind of freaky.

I'd put it here on a scale of
<- friendly wink ---- to ---- weird ->

I was/am a Contador fan, but riding second wheel and weirdness is having an impact.
