Double talk about double cross?

Contador strikes me as a pretty smart guy. He knows better than to let
LANCE get into the jersey, even for 1 day.

I didn't notice Contadore taking many pulls at the front. He drafted
Lance, then came from behind. A better teammate should have taken some
turns pulling once the road went up.

Contador did exactly what somebody planning to win the TdF should have done.

Providing that somebody didn't mind antagonizing other guys on the team,
that is. But tactically, it was perfect. Nobody was able to counter his
move. He let people know he was a force to be reckoned with.

I found it interesting that Lance didn't seem to care at all that AC
was sucking his wheel the whole day. I think we're seeing AC and
Cadel morph into one another.

Cadel looks like Contador? No way. Cadel is a wheel sucker in the
style of Guimard, and has no punch. Contador is a tactician with an
unanswerable punch; the 2 could not be more different.

Contador is the team leader. That's what team leaders do.

Hopefully you'll get a chance to watch the stage this evening. First,
Evans attacked. Then Contador attacked. The attacks were in no way similar.
