Didn't you see the slow motion replay of the short section leading up to the last bend? Contador was fucking hurting. And I think Schleck was quicker over that section too. Making things look easy doesn't mean they are easy.
Unless you go into oxygen debt, recovering from very intense efforts (sprint/climb/TT/whatever) doesn't take long, at least in the sense of being able to have a chat and raise a smile.
