I agree. I watched the entire tour, but on DVR a little late after which I read this thread. Thanks to all who maintained this thread.
If Andy had not lost the yellow jersey he would have been able to trail in Alberto's slipstream up the final mountains instead of almost doing a time trial. I think that made a big difference in the effort needed there. Contador seems to smirk all the time and I can't stand that little pointing gesture he makes on the podium.
No kidding! It's like the guy on Happy Gilmore- Shooter McGavin or something: LAME!

Thats how I see it too. Next year should be interesting with Frank S back to help Andy attack Alberto.
If I were Contador I wouldn’t be thinking # 4 was going to come easy , if at all.
