Stage 12

Contador steals back his 10 seconds

I did not get to see this stage, so my opinion is limited to alleyway talk and drunken ramblings of "the people who know things".

Basically this stage was supposed to be a neutral stage with the break getting pulled in by opportunistic stage hunters. It turned into a hot one from the the start with everyone trying to take a dig. Won't name names but trust me anyone who can try a break did. Long story short the yellow was being challenged and Saxo had to work, and work and work. Vino gets out there in a break and is cooking with something. Andy and Al are surgically attached at the hip until Rodriguez decides it is time to make a go at it and drags Al with him and leaves Andy at the alter. Andy is dazed and confused and to make things worse he wore cement shoes and cannot hold onto Al and loses 10 seconds to Al.

All this is happening and Vino is still stage hunting, when his "teammate" says "not today com padre". Vino is not happy, Rodriguez takes the stage and Andy is hit with a -10 sec to Al. Vino finishes without a win and probably a little upset with his "teammate".
