  • What the hell happened?

    The TL:DW version of today's race...

    • Pace was off the hook (48kph). So fast ES only actually got to televise the last 30km!

    • Valverde and Contador had been attacking from the start, Contador gets away in a group eventually. Katusha in pieces and without friends.

    • Contador attacks pretty much on the flat taking only Tiralongo (Astana) with him who works hard for him in exchange for drugs (ok that bit I made up).

    • The Rodriquez/Froome/Peloton split (Froome >>>>>), Valverde rides off the front like a boss and soon picks up Movistar riders Contador has just dropped so he makes progress.

    • Rodriquez left riding on his own (apart from a Saxo and Movistar rider in his wheel). He stays ahead of the peloton but loosing big time to Contador.

    • The now organised main breakaway (with Valverde in it) comes close, but can't quite deny Contador the win and bonus seconds.

    • Contador wears RED, Valverde jumps to 2nd in the GC and Froome is knocked from the podium.

    • Rodriguez doesn't even unclip after the race, he just rides back down the mountain. An extraordinary day!
