serious gaylord posted:Yep. Down tube went apparently. That doesn't make any sense if there was a "70 meter long skid mark". DT breaking was probably the result and not the cause. Loss of traction due to a flat seems more likely. Just a guess.

I'll wait until the team do a press release before believing it's a frame failure. Rod for the stage win!

They're saying his frame went and threw him onto the road, hence the massive skid mark. These guys can all ride with a flat tyre so unless it exploded I'd be very surprised that it dumped a bike rider like Contador on the floor.

quote:Questioned by letour.fr, Tinkoff-Saxo's directeur sportif Philippe Mauduit who jumped in the second team car to let a free seat to Alberto Contador after his retirement explained: “Alberto badly crashed. His right knee is seriously injured. The crash has been violent. I have his shoe with me, it's completely destroyed. According to some rumors, his bike has been broken but that's not the case. A bike fell from our racks after we fixed Nicolas Roche's bike. It's obviously too early to establish a diagnostic for Alberto. Once he'll reach the finish, he'll undergo an x-ray examination. Before pulling out, he told us that he was in an awful pain and he couldn't go any further on his bike. It's a pity because everything had gone well since the beginning of the Tour. We had a plan and today's race was unfolding exactly as we wanted. In a fraction of a second, it all fell apart, so we're immensely sad. Tomorrow, it's a rest day. After tomorrow, a new battle will begin. We'll stay united and a new Tour de France will begin for us.”

This is interesting then since everyone was saying at the time that his bike frame was clearly broken. Sponsorship appeasement?

If there was a bike on the floor with a broken frame, people probably thought it must have been associated.

I'm imagining him chasing the ghost of Contador up the climb, it makes a lot more sense.

Yeah unless his bike literally fails like you said I can't see anyone else winning. He has fantastic bike control so I can't see him crashing out, and now that Contador's gone there's nobody left to challenge him in the mountains. Great finish, too good.
