my turn now.
i think Contador was put in a difficult position, he had to decide fast. ultimately Andy attacked him, and, as has been said, Menchov and Sanchez weren't going to wait.
So, i think it's not cut and dried. If Contador HAD waited, it would have been hailed as a very sporting sacrifice indeed. 5 times out of ten, maybe he would have waited. I guess maybe he thought ' what if i wait then lose the Tour because i decided to be nice?'
maybe he feels bad tonight. who knows. i'd not hang him for this, it's one of those things.
