Re: Re:
I expect him to challenge. Today was his first serious attack. He didn't show much so far, I expected more attacks from Alberto. I was so happy when he tried this long range attack but I don't understand why he didn't try the second time, when Rogers jumped again with Malori. He should have bridged to their group. Maybe Valverde was prepared to join the action and they would have formed a dangerous group. I hope tomorrow Contador and Nibali try again and join forces in an epic attack from far out.

Valverde and Quintano seem strong enough to go with this plan. The cooler conditions will help attacking riding.
More likely Contador and Nibali attack early and the movistar train pull them back, then ride a tempo to guide Froome to the line with Nairo.
What I don't understand is the wide expectation that Contador will do something. The guy looks knackered and will just disappoint anyone who still expect him to challenge.
He actually looked quite good today, a shame he crashed.
