1) i would think that a real competitor wouldn't want to win the tour due to another's mechanical regardless of what caused it...especially the defending champ. it's one thing if schleck is chasing and contador has no knowledge of the mechanical. he attacked him AFTER he dropped his chain. bush league according to roadie etiquete. hopefully contador gets to experience karma.
2) contador was an a-hole before this incident...(please see my post from last year on a similar topic: http://negativesplit.blogspot.com/2009/07/alberto-contador-is-dick.html)
at the end of the day, i too think contador is a jack-o$$ but saxo can say all they want about what they would have done. everyone, no matter what the circumstance, will always say they would have done it different if they were in that persons shoes especially if they don't like the result of what actually happened. that's just the way it goes.
AH - I know you have no love for AC. All I do know is Schleck is going to wake up pissed off and Alberto will want to bury him to show he didn't "need" the extra seconds, so it should be a street fight for skinny guys on bikes....and THAT will be some good entertainment.

Where did Schleck learn to descend - Kansas?
