Do you think Contador pulled up at the end there, though? Paul or Phil one kept saying that he would never have taken that win from Andy or the crowd would have turned on him (again), as if he could have taken the win if he'd wanted to. Their comments just left me wondering. It kind of tempered my joy for Andy, although I'm really pleased for him.
And has anyone ever done a study on the effect that the fans have on the riders climbing steep inclines like that? I didn't see anyone slapping Andy, but Contador got several slaps in the arm and on the butt as he rode through. All that noise, people jumping in your path, and then the motorcycles blaring their horns right behind you...how in the world do they concentrate enough to climb that mountain?
