had knee surgery 8 days ago so im hanging out at home resting,, anyway did anyone see todays stage ?? contador took the yellow in a very low class way, he attacked the yellow jersey of andy schelk, when shelck had a mechanical problem, it is a very long standing unwritten rule to never attack the yellow when they have a crash or a mechanical, imho contador is just a plain punk, what say you?

just an example, when armstrong had the yellow jersey and his main rival jan ulrich went down he waited, he wanted to beat his main rival on the bike

Yep, Slap saw that...Not too cool at all. And at the podium when he put on da Yellow, he done got seriously boooood.

I'm hoping Andy drops him on the next two stages and gets a good time gap on him, if not he doesn't stand a chance in the time trial... That was a chicken s%$# move for sure...

i wonder/hope Andy gets alot of help tomorrow, would be awesome to see lance help him up the mountain!!!!

Agreed. Andy will come out fighting. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets help from all others besides the teams in the running.

Armstrong needs to nut up..

I just heard about this on the news, what a joke! What other sport has anything close to this, if Dale Jr. blows a tire does anyone stop and wait for them to fix it?

The Tour has its own history of unsaid rules. This is only one example of many, you must follow the Tour to understand.

well said wild bill!!!! ,,,,cycling has a long history and you must follow the tour to really understand it's history, it has a host of unwritten rules that have been around a century, like not attacking your teammate if he is in yellow , which contador did to lance last year, he could have waited until the time trail if he was really the strongest and beat lance fair and square... i was racing bicycles when we had to wear leather hair nets!!! and we had to nail our cleats on the sole of our cycling shoes!! and you did not have index shifting either, ah those were the days, but the advancements in just 25 years is amazing!!!! who would have thought you could measure your heart rate, watts, altitude along with down loading all the info on your computer,also if you have a garmin gps you can find out your exact measurements at any given point....

also agree with j.d,,,,, time for lance to man up , tuesday would be a good start, help andy and then win the stage!!!!!!

Funny that Contador has been doing interviews in English, but had an interpreter yesterday after the race . . .

Andy Schleck yesterday on Twitter.

awe...all you guys following the butts in the air, tight short euro bike clowns........ makes me all emotional

seriously, they are some world class athletes, BUT most of those guys are doping....just one step ahead of being caught

LOl i thought the same thing. Those guys are amazing athletes for sure. To hammerdown on the pedals for that length of time and at that speed is crazy.

The fact that 3 - 4 - 5 place were all within that group and if Contador waited, he might have been attacked and lost 2nd place.. Lance and every "Boss" before him, beat you heads up, man to man, nit waiting to bounce on a mechanical problem and act like you are the baddest man on the planet!! If Contador was a true "Boss" he would have waited and kept everyone with him and beat Andy in the time trial!!!

I think Contador is a punk, but Andy has a new fan, me, he handled it with class.. Lance has shown his true colors!! HE should be up lying his body down for Levi and or Chris Horner, not dropping out like a punk bitch!! Don't get me wrong, Armstrong is the Mother Stinking man, but It's time to be the teammate everyone was to you, so get your man into third and stop twittering!!
