I can only imagine with how many minutes Purito would've won Vuelta 2012 if he had a Sky team with him.

To be fair, he did have Dani Moreno with him on many occasions where he was in trouble, but yeah..

I was never a Contador fan, even disliked him strongly for a couple years as a rider, but seeing him like this really makes me wonder what he could've done in all those Tours he kept crashing out of had he stayed healthy...

He wasn't in trouble on many occasions. He was in controll that whole Vuelta. Only on Fuente De he wasn't. And on that particular day, his whole team (apart from Losada) had an off-day.

Man how do you guys find it in you to cheer for anyone other than Contador? The man is relentless. Not sure it'll pay off for him, but someone might gain from his smart decision to try to hurt and isolate the leader who showed weakness and signs of fatigue yesterday.
