We're going from Spain to Andorra in the Tour de France

Contador should have kept his original plan of retiring after this season. When he loses time today i think he may call it quits and save face. He is clearly in a bad form.

A breakaway group of half the peloton and LottoNL manages to miss it entirely, AGAIN 

 

Edit: Wait, I think I saw one! It's a miracle!

Did you forget he nearly broke his shoulder twice in the first week?  

 

It's really impossible to say anything about what form he was in before that fall..

And the race is exploding

Maybeee, that sea water is still somewhere in my head.

 

But still i think that Contador is gonna have trouble today.

looks for a very very hard stage for the sprinters and already very tired domestiques today. the time limit will be 15-17%, and I have a feeling we will have many riders which will be out of it today. hope Sagan will be ok

This early? What's happening? I'm not at home so can't watch it on the tv

Big group attacked, Contador attacked and is now in a time trial together with Valverde to close the gap to the lead group
