Sure it make it sense. When you rely on winning by DOPING and then you try to win without it your not going to do good.
Don't let Jokerman troll the thread off. He clearly knows nothing about cycling, given his lack of knowledge on the substance issue, and makes zero sense on how/why Lance was spilled twice today.
With Lance out of the tour I would say that I'm rooting for anybody but contador at this point, but really I'm just hoping for some inspired performances and exciting racing!
Yeah, I don' t know why Contador didn't give chase today. I doubt it's that Andy Schlek is in better form than Contador, but especially with a rest day tomorrow, I don't understand why Contador wouldn't take the opportunity to assert his prowess. There's so much gamesmanship in cycling it's hard to know the reasoning. Personally, I don't recall seeing much outright competitiveness just for the sake of competitiveness from Contador in the past - maybe he figured that Andy isn't really the threat that his brother is and decided that he would just rather not take on the pain of a pursuit at that point?
Contador had almost nothing to gain by attacking Schlek, when the latter broke away. Ten seconds? This is nothing. Contador contained the damage. That was relatively easy to do because the last climb was not that steep. I think he'll wait for a steep mountain top finish to try to assert his dominance, as he did last year.

except he didn't look that well, believe it or not, he would have chased after andy schleck if he could.
huh? Andy finished second last year, he's definitely a better climber than his brother Franck. He's probably the only one who could be a threat to Contador.
