Ooh dear, Andy Schleck. Contador entirely right to keep going - that wasn't a mechanical, it was a technical mistake by Schleck - he failed to do his gear-change correctly and dropped his chain.

Not sure about this - there is a difference between a mechanical failure and bad riding - Schleck made a mistake, Contador took advantage of it. Doesn't mean I like Contador though. I don't.

All in the descent skills now - and neither of them renown for being the fastest.

Contador should have waited for Schleck, where has the respect gone for the Maillot Jaune in the Tour?
Poor form from Contador imo, even Pharmstrong would have waited for the Yellow Jersey in a situation like this...

I'm not 100% sure it was shifting.....doesn't look like he hits the shifters on the replay...could be wrong though....it is logical that it was a shifting error

Well, I'm not sure about it at all having seen the replays. I'll just wait to see what the usual race post-mortems bring out...
He most certainly would not.

Boarman is suggesting Contador was right too; Shleck should have fitted a chain guard but he didn't

WIll that 39' that Bertie 'stole' make a difference anyway? AS was never going to keep a TT gap that small? or?

He would, that's the respect the Yellow Jersey commands in the Tour...
