Well, given the fact that he's done absolutely nothing until yesterday is pretty much appropriate....
Someone teach Andy Schleck how to put a chain back on. It comes to something when the most exciting thing in a massive Pyrenean stage is triggered by someones chain throwing a wobbler.
Even tagsi would be calling Contador a TOTAL CNUT today after his attack last night.
Someone hook the cnut off the road on the next descent..... how about we pay Fabian to do it?

Good day in the Specialized PR department.
"I ride Specialized" - But it drops chains.
"I ride Specialized" - But everyone hates me.

Contador was already full sprint when Shrek unshipped his chain. Not sure about you but when I'm going full spuds then small analytical things like noting the position of failed bike bits takes second tier to making sure I stay on the road and don't crash into folk. Besides, it's a mechanical.... If Andy had fallen off that'd be a different story.
... and it's not like Saxobank waited for the folks who had mechanical issues on the cobbles when Cancellara was pounding away on the front.
Karma.
As Hinault said "sh1t happens."
But one this is for sure, the way Schleck was climbing it made Pantani and Armstrong at his best look decidedly slow. Someone ate their Weetabix this morning.

Swap SRAM for Specialized...
... maybe it was the fault of the super wizzo hi-tech overprice too shiney for use on a road bike, rear mech with pully wheels bigger than most sprockets. Looking at the footage of Shrek and his chain mishap the rear mech seems to through a wobbler before the chain jumps off.
More overhyped needless rubbish
Cnutador's riding isn't the problem. It's that dorky salute he insists on. Can someone have a word to him?
I agree with everything swampy said, both on Contador/Menchov/Sanchez not waiting and the SRAM fail. Which probably means Vadar reckons I am now a total gheybo felcher.
In any case Schleck was gonna have to drop Contador coz he will get pwned in the TT. It hasn't seemed likely to my eyes.
A mates missus was riding for an SRAM sponsored team in the States. They had heaps of problems with it at the time. Apparently they resolved much of it, but he bagged the hell out of the stuff.
On related issues, Sherwin is such an Armstong felcher he parrots the 'Contador is evil' party line so much that it makes me feel ill. Even fanboi Liggett isn't as bad as the Ugandan slave driver.

So is Wesley Sulzberger in the 'Harry Potter Cloak' jersey? I've not seen him, or heard mention of him all race....
