Besides, calculate the VAMs for the first 6 guys or so in that stage and see where they fall on the chart. Then, tell me if the high VAM by Contador is possibly a result of "conditions" (atmospheric, as well as the massive Saxo leadout at the bottom), or is indicative of nefarious activities.
Much ado about nothing...

ummm... i already DID post the top riders vam's so you could see where they were relative to historical climbs. the statistic IS STILL interesting to look at with regards to historical performances, despite some inconsistencies.
