Historically carrying your bike across the line was allowed.... I think he was trying to be old school.

You can walk over the finish line so long as you are holding your bike. So entirely legal.

Tibopino and Purito almost caught Henaou and Berto.

it was a pity TV didnt show Pinot, Quintana and Purito. The imporrtant was how much Contador and henao could get with them.

Quintana had a bad day today with this rain and this kind of stage, but I hoped more from him.

Henao and Contador looked really strong. I think they could have worked a bit better together to put some more time into Purito and especially Pinot. Pinot being the diesel that he is was always poised to claw back some of the deficit in the final part of the climb but I feel that Contador just didn't feel like pushing very hard and then walk into a late attack by Henao.

So the top 4 are in 12 seconds. It is going to be really interesting TT tomorow. Contador looked super though, I think he held something back for the TT. He clearly didn't go all out after the initial attack.

So Henao vs Contador vs Pinot tomorrow? Should be interesting. I hope Contador can win at least one of the spring stage races so I'm rooting for him and the TT course also should suit him the best.
