JT, Contador is saying that yesterday's fall re-injured an old knee problem. He said he will determine today if he drops or not.
And I understand about Versus' felt need to simplify the Tour into a single soap opera for a non-enthusiast audience. I just think they vastly over-simplify it, over-blow and over-emphasize their story line, and cause the Tour to lose a large chunk of what makes it special. And sometimes (like this year), they miss the things that are truly important to the race because of their obsession with their invented drama.
