Bort, I think there is a difference between this and last year in that Contador is feeling the pressure this year. I think, no matter what the issues with Lance being at Astana were, he always knew he had him beaten on the road.
This year, I think he looks like he fears what Schleck is capable of in the mountains. It was incredibly bad form to put down the hammer when the chain went on Schleck's bike.
I really hope Andy puts a 3-4 minutes in him today - just enough to cling on through the time trial.

^^ bort, I have no idea what I'm talking about really...just yanking some chain.
But really, how could he not know?
Then again, I could be totally wrong!

@ BusterBoy
How are you so sure this is merely PR. Historically Contador has proven to be a gentlemen and relatively classy racer. When all the shit slinging was going down during last year's tour, Contador didn't lash out at Lance @ posse despite the fact they had fully abandoned him. I don't think he's the unscrupulous a-hole you believe him to be.
Even if Schleck hadn't lost time yesterday, I don't think he could hold on to yellow. Contador will destroy him in the TT... not to mention Menchov, who despite being down a couple minutes has proven himself a very capable TT'er.
Here are my podium picks:
1) AC
2) Menchov
3) Schleck

What a cock Contador is. And the bullshit apology that followed...
Can't stand this type of behaviour. He would have known full well what was going on...the only reason he's apologising is for public relations...he's not sorry he did it.

Welp, It's a two-man tour. Was hoping to see some other contenders keep pace, but no. Levi seems out of contention as well, so I have nobody to root for.
Casar's effort at the end of the stage today was great though.

More crashes today. The riders are not happy with the organizers... but, but the surelly think they, the riders, paid for this (bring more show, less cry).
Will see tomorrow
