Surprise other team didn't expect Contador to try something right away, especially when he sent someone at the start.
 
Wow! Evans having problems with his bike. They need to get that shit squared away ASAP, or it'll be another cursed year for Cadel in the TdF.

Contador and Andy more than a minute on Evans, who changed bike.

Cadel's bad luck and effort yesterday has come back to haunt him. Andy looks like he's got this as he doesn't need to attack.

i remember a time when people sat up if one of the group had a mechanical.

not anymore it seems.

Armstrong sat up, Indurain, Hinault, etc all did it.

Andy eating something as he goes to the end of the group, Contador better eat something too or he's going to suffer as yesterday.

Hey Andy, you should help a bit.
Andy is probably waiting for the last climb to attack. He doesn't have to do anything until then since Contador is helping him into the yellow jersey.

That's why Andy should take turns with Alberto.

Almost 2 minutes on Evans now, as we aproach the hardest part of the Galibier.

Amazing few stages, every day a new surprise and changes in the standings.
A shame the ductch aren't among the surprises.

That shot with the helicopter in the valley was amazing.
It so was, in general much respect for the camerawork today, it's been an amazing stage to look at, and not just because of the fantastic cycling on display.

Evan has caught the front group, and they all sat up to take on drinks etc, so pretty much expect the yellow jersey group to catch them quick smart.
