Welcome aboard and enjoy. Alsace is one of the most beautiful part of France, away from the fast pace metropolitan Paris and tourist. Hope to see some of your works soon, since I believe that you may also be a member of "forum en papier" as well. Bien venue, Enjoy and see you around the forums.

If Contador had 2 or 3 team mates he could have broken away from the Schleck brothers and put more time between his team and the brothers. The guy leading the pack is doing most of the work and it helps to be able to switch off and rest behind the leader. He played it smart and stayed with them and never took the lead. He just let them do all the work and was hoping the team would catch up with him. He did not want to help them put more distance between him and the team.

The guys ridding behind the leader can use 30% less energy to go the same speed. It's like drafting in NASCAR the guy in back uses a lot less gas.
