Nothing stage they said. TV pictures won't be of interest early in the race they said.

Wow he really dropped them, he has 16 seconds.

And he's heading to his teammates.

But seriously we just missed an epic thing, i can't believe it :(

Why the hell is Piti helping Purito? Can't he let these two fight it out mano a mano? :mad:

yeah that's pretty stupid, he's 3th for sure. It serves no purpose, let purito fatigue him.

Losada dropped from the break to help Purito. Not sure where Contador is relative to the break.

Is he helping or just following? His 3rd place isn't being threatened. Froome is already gapped.

He caught them, since he's already with his 2 teammates

They're in the downhill, crazy stuff going there i'm assuming

Contador ha pasado por la cima con 16" sobre @alejanvalverde y Rodríguez, y con 55" sobre Froome y Gesink. #vuelta2012

Hahaha, this is great. You know, probably.

So many Movistar guys in the break, it's a shame Valverde didn't manage to follow Contador.
