God do i love watching that kid Contador. Ras was able to mark him(this time), but I think as Contador grows more race savy he will put those moves on earlier and gain time gaps on Ras. If im Bruyneel, I put team Disco stratight to the front on 16 and set a pace to destroy the field, then let Levi shepherd Contador as far as he can and then let the kid see if he can gap Ras and have a chance to catch him in the final TT.
Contador is gaining confidence every climb. I think he can really win this thing...but he'll need one special stage 16 to do it.
Does anyone know if a rookie has ever won the TdF.
