I think if Contador was stronger yesterday, he'd have been able to drop him
God knows he tried often enough. Schleck was completely stuck to his wheel.
Not saying that Schleck could know for sure that he could get away. But after discovering that Contador definitely couldn't drop him, seemed odd that he never even tried to turn the tables.
Reminds me of when Armstrong was winning Tours - there wasn't anyone who dared to take him on. This looks like being the second year running where AS hasn't ever really tried.
