No one should ever neutralize for a Contador crash.

Last night I really couldn't believe how lucky we were with the time gaps and the stages ahead, it was primed to be a huge battle for yellow. We still have the polka-dot jersey I guess. We flew too close to the Sun!

TBF, I was already thinking both Contador and Froome peaked too early in the dauphine after the stage on the cobbles. Everyone was focused on them (and Talansky) due to their display there.

Kinda hard for saxo when their whole team was with Contador. At least for the overall.

I still think we are in for some suprises, there will be a few climbers who can get the jump on nibali. It's not over

He is but he's not very explosive so I'm hoping for exciting stages where's he's trying to close people down who've got a little distance on him.

Losing Contador sucks. He's always entertaining on the mountain stages. Are Rolland's time trial skills enough to make him a contender? I seem to remember him being pretty good uphill and he raced pretty fun.

Rolland is bad at TT, worse than Nibali, he will need to be in yellow for the TT to get a chance to keep it in Paris.

TJVG could be a contender for overall if not for his crashes probably. Would be funny if Horner went full retard and won. I still don't think Nibali is in great climbing shape

I only hope Porte wins if Sky then drop Froome like they did Wiggins.
