I also think it's too late now for Contador to make up the time. Cadel might, but he's not that great in the mountains, so unless something really drastic happens in the final TT I think Rassmussen is set to win overall now, if only by a smidge. Still, it's been great nail-biting tour this time and really exciting to watch!
Vino did a great ride yesterday and it was quite moving to see the crowds' reaction on the final climb (but then, I get emotional at the sight of bunnies/puppies/flowers!) the Basques cheered him even more than their own riders! Everyone loves him now!
