17:26 - 1’40” Advantage For Leading Pair
It’s clear that Andy and Alberto are head and shoulders above the other favorites in the 2010 Tour. They are now 1’40” ahead of a group that includes Van den Broeck, Horner, Menchov, Hesjedal, Gesink, Kreuziger, Sanchez...
YOu have to give Contador credit. He has done everything he has needed to do.
