Can't believe what I'm reading here. Now after 7 tour victories Johan and LA all of a sudden care where the rest of the team finishes on GC , that is a dramatic change of heart. All Contador did was take full control of the race, just as LA would have done had he been strong enough. LA left nothing to chance in his 7 victories, he was ruthless gaining time whenever he could and using his teammates up in the process. Contador has done no different.
Did LA ever think about dragging Heras onto the podium when he was riding high on GC..............no.
