Fergoose said:Because Froome expended far less energy than Contador yet gained time plus his teammates proved to be in decent condition. I'm not buying that Contador used minimal energy in making 6 attacks yesterday. I’ve never seen someone make that many attacks on the same climb before.
But Froome covered every move or at least chased back alone. So it's quite the same as attacking. It's not like Wiggins in the Tour, who was paced back to others.
