I do wonder if Contador would have been under more pressure if he had a 30 second defecit on Schleck with shcleck in the yellow jersey (as in he had not had the advantage he gained from Shleck's mechanical)
Would that have changed the dynamics of the race and put Astana in a position where they had to make more of a move and perhaps meant contador would not have been able to sit on Shlecks wheel all the way up?
Definitely - Schleck would have been able to play Contador's role, let Astana set the pace and see if he had the better legs at the top to put a final dig in. However, I still doubt he could have put more than a few seconds into him based on Berties form yesterday and as he'll likely give away a minute and more in the ITT, it's largely academic. Would be nice to see the yellow change hands more than once though!

Tbh when I saw it from behind, it looked like he was trying to get a bit of lever...combined with an extra lean to shove them over towards the barriers I'm not surprised Renshaw flipped. He definitely cut Farrar out after that though - dodge.
Not sure it would have made a huge difference to the result, mind.
