longrun said:What's going on? With 3km to go there are still 40 riders in the elite peloton! From this slow pace, Contador goes up the final 10km in only 25:22. Jan Ullrich rode the same 10km to Arcalis in 22:55!! We're watching some S-L-O-W riding this year guys and gals!!

Thoughtforfood said:I just watched it, he is full of sh!t. By the time he could even see Contador and begin to cover, the bikes were well ahead of Contador and were only close for seconds. They are pros at this and got out of the way.
Sour grapes indeed.
42coppi said:I was nodding off - it was so slooooooow. Usual diesel attack by Cadel and then Contador but I agree - for sure he was drafting those press bikes and no commissars around either.
Sour grapes - no - blantantly obvious - yes.
Thoughtforfood said:The closest he came to drafting a moto was when he rounded the curve and that bike accelerated away VERY quickly.
The motorbike incident goes the way of WMD's.
