Contador looked really fresh at the end.
I was a little surprised Schleck didn't attack after doing almost no work in his group.

Contador was impressive. He obviously had lots left. The way he lashed out after flatting he almost made the time back up. Levi basically admitted he didn't have it and sounded defeated.

The guy needs to figure out how to build up his self-esteem.

Its not really that hilly. One cat 4. Rolling terrain, and shouldn't make that much of a difference.
I wonder if they give any points for the cat 4 climb, and how they calculate the winner.

the comments the chicken made to the press were pretty funny... i like my tour contenders to have some humor! the press seemed to ask him a lot of doping questions tho, bah humbug!
"This yellow jersey feels like doping to me," he said. "It motivates me more than anything. I will fight to keep it."

I believe they time the cat 4 from bottom to top to award points.
