Was Contador wearing yellow? People continue to act as if waiting on every crash or mechanical is the norm.... There is a difference between attacking yellow during an issue and going on with a race when a contender goes down....


I was under the impression that Contador had a broken spoke... I don't remember a flat.... But as far as the spoke, even the announcers were not aware of his issue until after the race....which is why there were questions about Vinokurov dropping him at the line.... Or maybe I am thinking a different stage????????


Not trying to appear/or be argumentative.... Sometimes this stuff doesn't translate well with the written word....

I also don't want to try to appear to be some epic knowledge base as far as cycling and bike races.... I am not.... These are just opinions by an amateur cyclist...
