Bjarne will regret today, everyone moaned in the Giro when Uran was waiting for Wiggo, surely Kreuziger should have went. I said back along Kreuziger could well be stronger than Alberto and Milburo was having none of it. To be fair I don't blame you for saying that but its been obvious all year Alberto was not as good as he was, also Froome is two good how could anyone even say that Alberto would challenge. Im just gutted for Roman he could have easily been up with Mollema and Valverde today.
But the reason Contador is not as good yet is because he is 3rd week, right. Also were was the Saxo help of Rogers and Roche.
I think Contador should check the next few stages and the ITT and if he is far back he should go home and do La Vuelta, surely this is big shock to him for the first time in the TDF without another GT in his legs he is being beaten. I don't no what you lot think of that, do you think he should stay and fight for the podium or go home and prepare for La Vuelta where he will be a sure podium spot with Nibali? Contador surely is going to defend that title, no?. I dont think he can do the whole TDF in the top 3 or 5 and still be competitive, surely he will have to do what Valverde done, ride at the back and go for a stage win. I am honest though when I say I felt sorry for Contador today he was gutted when he came across the line he looked back straight away for the clock.
Also why Hesjedal waste his whole season he crashed in Suisse why still do the TDF even without the crash he would not have been a factor in the TDF so why not do the Vuelta. Cant blame Movistar but Quintana should not have attacked he would of beaten Valverde today, even if it was successful he would have payed later on because it was so far out.
Evans, well what can I say he as had a stunning carear but its over now as a GT leader. Yet he still surprised 1 final time by getting a podium in the Giro and meaning he was on the podium in all 3 GT's, with 1 TDF win.
And TJVG is overrated, yes he crashed but come on he was never going to do that well on this parcours, he finished 11 minutes behind the winner last year in a GT that will never suit him aswell as that one.
TGBM what a ride im so happy for the Dutch, I always chear Gesink and I thought he would have a chance today but Quintana flew away. Can Mollema get a top 5. One thing for sure I am annoyed abut is JVDB not being here he probably would podium the TDF with the way it looked today he would have been with Valverde, and Valverde always has 1 or 2 real bad days in the TDF.
How did Pinot do guys? And what silly tactics by Rolland way to chuck away a chance of a god result, yes he was a minute down but Froome was always going to stamp his authority on the race.
And finally what a great stage, Quintana is such a talent he will be the Froome rival for the next 4 years and after that he will take over.
