Blakeslee said:Contador in the past has been untouchable in the grand tours (including the 2011 Giro). His attacks were so explosive he left everyone else behind, usually putting minutes into the rest of the field. He's been riding very well in the Vuelta, but his attacks clearly are not at the same kind of dominant level they were in the past.
So your analysis is purely subjective based on what happens when he attacks.
