I come home from college, turn on the TV. Sporza starts and the first thing they say is that Contador is in the breakaway and that he attacked on the penultimate climb. He's a legendary legend

Damn, if Sky catches up they'll surely bring more Katusha guys with them. :(
Then again, they're so far behind that doesn't look likely, and if it happens it's probably a bad sign for Purito.

Did Rodriguez respond to Contador's attack or did he get dropped on a cat 2 climb by Contador?

Looks like the classic Riis attack.

Send people ahead. Use a climb/hill to surprise and/or distance contenders; jump to the front where team mates will be pulling you as far as possible.

Oh, I thought Jesús Hernández was in the lead group, but Contador only has Paulinho (and Tiralongo) there.

Listening to Eurosport, you wouldn't think anything exciting was happening right now.
