Contador is a bitch. Sorry, I know it's "The Tour", but there are un-written rules of the peloton during the race. One of the biggest is not to attack in times when an opponent has a crash or mechanical. Contador broke this rule today and cemented his grasp on the title of "World's Biggest Shaft". He's not even worthy of being the entire member...
Remember when Ullrich dumped it into the ditch a few years ago? Lance could have easily just ridden away and gained time, but he waited. He then checked to see if Ullrich was okay after his shunt.
Twitter is lighting up with people who are defending Contadope's actions, yet if LA would have done the very same thing to Ullrich, they would have whinged, cried and decried Lance as someone who doesn't play well with others.
I don't wish ill will on anyone, but I sort of hope that there's some melted tar somewhere on the road in the next few days...just sayin'...
The reason Andy dropped the chain? Big/big cross chaining! It slipped off under power and sucked in the chainstay. If he'd been going faster, he would have gone over the bars.
