... the greatest show on earth Well, IMHO, today was pretty exciting. Do you remember when a rider had the best time on tour without wearing the yellow jersey before? I'm not complaining as an American, it seems to me that having only 1 yellow jeresey wearer is reasonable, and going to the hundreths of a second to determine which of the two who are tied for the yellow actually wears it is the most logical thing to do. But, it's unique in my experience for this to happen....and it is expected to last for several days because, IIRC, all riders who finish in a bunch finish get the same time, so it will be mountain time before we get a new yellow. All in all, I enjoyed today's coverage. Dan M. You got it - as team leader, Contador is serviced and protected by his domestiques. But team leader or not, if you're in yellow, you're the leader of Le Tour, and you have every right to expect your team to help you defend it. And as it's looking like it was Contador's inexperience or inattention that facilitated the split, he should probably keep his head well in until the climb to Andorra. Charlie.
