Considering AC has pretty much wrapped up both the points jersey and the pink and Garzelli is within range (I think it's 9 points at the moment). Do you think Contador will use his team to work so he can be the first up the Finestre and win the climbers jersey or will he leave it for Garzelli?

Contador knows that He cant take everything away from the Italians... He is not going for the KOM mountains and specially if the guy who wears it now is Garzelli, This could be his last Giro and Contador is not going to be that selfish... If He takes it is cuz there is no option but He is not going actively for it...
 
Contador will win the GPM as long as the break is reeled in. He only needs 12 points (11 to draw level, but Garzelli holds the tie breaker - the Cima Coppi), so 2nd & 3rd would do it.

If there are attacks all over the shop Contador will happily just sit on whoever's at the front. In which case Garzelli would need to score some points. And that entails being in the first 6 over Finestre, much easier said than done.

Might want to change the mountain jersey next time if you can win it based on one stage. That's just sad.
