Re:

Berto alone, still around 3km to go, a shame

 

[markene2]

Goddamn stupid, no way they are pushing full

 

[Red Rick]

That group should be going all out

 

[rlntlssly]

Astana and Bahrain-Merida look awfully like they're pushing on to me. As is perfectly fair and right. I'm not sure what race some of you are watching.

Theuns is useless

 

[LaFlorecita]

Go go go Alberto
Can he get 30s?

 

[StephenC2020]

This could well be the only chance they get to gain time on Froome and this is what they do?

 

[Popchu]

Not much time gain for Contador after all, he will lose a lot in these last kilometers.

Re:

Contador the big winner today then

What should have been an awful attack may turn into a big time gainer because of Froome's issues leading to a period with nobody pushing on

I think Nibali is perhaps the biggest winner. Froome is terrible at recovering from crashes, and there are two very tough MTFs at the weekend - plus he's had to waste a lot of energy in the last 20km.

 

[Melo]

Lol, Nibali is an idiot, plain an simple.

Re:

Froome mechanical and crash:

I would give the Katusha car maybe like 20% of the blame there, maybe less.

Good to know there are other sensible persons around here

 

[SafeBet]

Contador is a hero.

 

[Vasilis]

Gap Contador - Froome down to 55s.

 

[Climbing]

If that's pushing I'm Fabian Cancellara reborn.

 

[Red Rick]

Was that Oomen riding?

 

[markene2]

Zakarin the only gc guy pushing in the group

 

[Arredondo]

Nibali, Chaves, Kelderman, Aru....

They're all pussy's! The only true champion left is called ALBERTO CONTADOR VELASCO!

Yep that is true, depends on what damage he has done I guess.

 

[portugal11]

Grande pistolero!! Bang bang

 

[sir fly]

Well done, Contador.
Great effort.

 

[portugal11]

41 seconds froome

 

[Vasilis]

Froome loses 42 s to Contador and 20 to the rest

Re:

No he's not, he helped Berto build a big gap

Wasn't a big crash though. I assume the first incident was a mechanical rather than a crash.

41 and 19 for Froome
