Tour talk -- Spoiler alert

I definitely think AC could have smoked Andy. I think the little spurt he did at the end was meant to prove that exact point. I agree that AC's value would have plummeted if he had smoked Andy. More than a bike race is at stake here. Commercial endorsements pay big $$.

Given that Contador sat on Andy's wheel for nearly the entire climb, well, yeah, he probably could've smoked Andy. Between Andy's comeback after the dropped chain, his doing nearly all the work in this last climbing stage, and his winning two stages (even if one was possibly a "gift" from Berto), Andy's proven himself worthy to win the Tour, whether he does or not.

I just hope he doesn't give up.

With only two days to go, I seriously doubt he'd give up. He'd have to totally crash out to quit at this point.
