In what will certainly be debated for some time, Alberto Contador attacked race leader and his biggest rival Andy Schleck when Schleck threw his chain on the climb up Port de Bales. Schleck ended up loosing 39 seconds to Contador on the day, as well as his yellow jersey, and possibly the Tour de France.
There is an unwritten rule in cycling that you don’t attack the race leader because of a mechanical problem. Everyone remembers the 2003 Tour when Tyler Hamilton slowed the GC favorites group down when Armstrong crashed on the climb up Luz Ardiden and then went on to win the stage and the Tour.

Contador the c**t. Got booed when he put on the yellow jersey
Race is over, Schleck`s done since he can`t time trial as well as Contador the c**t.
Thanks for the update.
loosing?
Why did you change the headline? The original summed up the cowardly act perfectly.
Out of respect for a few that have complained about seeing the results before they get to watch the evening broadcast.
Contador is an anal orifice. Lance had his number right.
Contador may have a difficult ride tomorrow....riders may not play nice with him......
I may have to borrow that “anal orifice” blast. That’s great.
