Well they were carrying dead weight (Roche). Though as I said, Contador looked strong on the finale (IMO)
DBotero said:Wow it was close.Sky better than expected,so no jersey for TVG Good performance for Movistar too,disappointing ride for Tinkoff.

on hindsight.. who else left as the 5th rider? Poehls already gone mid climb... so he is the looser too. At least Roche hangs on.

Yeh I can't see who could challenge him.
He looks to be in great form and Nibali and Contador do not. Quintana is too far down allready.
Still a lot can happen.
Indeed....pedromiguelmartins said:Contador is getting those legs ready... He was in best mode on that climb. All that no-racing in June, besides putting Quintana on his place, is paying off.
One rest day and he will glue himself to Froome's wheel until 2Km to go, until he does what he did at the Vuelta.
