Is it not worth considering Johny Schleck’s opinion on chaingate ?
This is the link , he says clearly that AC should not have waited for AS , and that one does not give presents at this level of the sport , chains coming off are a part of the sport.

Either close the discussion or make it clear you will only tolerate posts that agree with your own.

Schleck’s father thought Contador was right to do what he did , that’s good enough for me.

Contador’s attack was like school in the summer time = no class. Excellent post Molly.

39 seconds?! What a cruel joke. Alberto proves you can win but still lose.

Well said.

‘…i won’t cry, I lost the jersey, but it’s not over…My stomach is full of anger and I want revenge…’

I got goosebumps when Andy said that after the race. Not a big fan of his until today when I heard his reaction to the events. Can’t wait to see him show contador what class is.

[...] Molly Cameron on Contador’s attack today in Le Tour when Schleck had dropped his chain: Everyone can attack when it is easy. You win races by attacking when it hurts, you attack when it is hard, when your legs are burning, when everyone else is breathing hard and you are suffering. That is when you attack. [...]

It looked to me like Vino sat up–and seemed surprised to see Contador accelerate past him.

This was a dumb move. Contador was likely going to win anyways–but now he’ll never get the same level of respect for the win. In fact, he’ll lose fans and favor, which is both bad for his ego and for sponsorship deals. Bad move, Contador.

Very well said Molly, and words to equal what I was thinking! What in your opinion do you feel was the major malfunction with the bike?
