bort, the difference between what happened on the cobbles of Stage 3 and the slopes of Port de Bales on Stage 15 is that Andy was in yellow. Historically speaking - at least to some degree - you don't attack the yellow jersey if the rider has suffered a crash or has had a mechanical. That being said, I'm hesitant to be too critical of Alberto "Shooter McGavin" Contador because he did have 2 other riders (Menchov & Sanchez) who were close in the GC.
What I think it shows is that while Contador is hands down the most gifted rider in the peloton, he has yet to achieve the "patron" status.
