Interesting how Lance handles the supporting role now for this team.
As was said on the broadcast, Contador does look vulnerable as he couldn't respond the Schleck's attack at the end. The next few days will have many guys gunning for Contador and will he be able to respond.
And don't forget our Canadian! He lost a minute to the leaders today but it was a great effort from him. He's now 6th overall.
