I fear that theuns is riding for the stage
I don't think so, he dropped very early, but it's hard to time where he has to wait. Best thing he can do is literally wait at the top I guess.

Froome is clearly reserving his efforts much more now, compared to other stages with Contador

Contador just wants to rock and roll in his last Vuelta

He's also three minutes down and Froome still has teammates, why make the effort when they can just let him dangle and his guys can do the rest?

Legendarily pointless effort from Contador lol

This really isn't wise. Contador shouldn't take it upon himself to make the race every day.
