From last year it looks to me like Contador’s ego is too big to actually sit back and just stay with Andy through the mountains. At some point he will try to prove he is the best climber. Tactically he could certainly sit on this 41” deficit for the rest of the way and just be confident in his TT skills.
If Andy gets to where he can TT pretty decent this will be an incredible rivalry. I think for Andy’s sake he needs to come under the tutelage of Johan Bruyneel and Lance Armstrong. ;)
It’ll have to be a duel ‘cuz Andy can’t afford not to attack a lot.
I like the idea of Andy coming over to RSH!
Oops, accidentally pinged R4F instead of you for the above.
Sorry guys. (Man, I’m about as klutzy posting on FR as a Euskatel rider is on a bike!)
