But you saw what happened in the last 2 or 3 km

everyone who broke got chased down quickly (by Contador mostly). Great timing if he wanted to win the stage and gain 15-20 seconds. Sure that wont win him the Tour; but there's a lot of mountains and only one time trial this year and you don't necessarily want the pressure of the yellow jersey at this stage. Going to be interesting!

        He'll lose a lot more than 40s in the time trials (Other Sports) - Tricky Hawes, Jul 11, 16:42:13
