Real tough call on this one. A crash is much more clear cut. You would definately wait but the Schleck incident was different, from where Contador was he may not have known it is mechanical, it could have been a torn heartlidge. Schleck wouldnt be the first person to attack a few times then go backwards very quickly.

If Contador had waited would this have opened the door for Schleck to "pretend malfunction" every time Contador looked to attack always retaining yellow till he lost it in the time trial anyway?
Was it just nerves for Schlek that cost him as he panicked?
Does Schleck want the yellow jersey anyway? It hasnt been very lucky for a few riders this year.
Would you have waited?
Did Phil jinx he by the numbers of times he raised his concerns about how Schleck will have no team mates left when he needs them in the last 5kms of the climb?
Will you slow down for the next mechanical at the gang?
Does anyone else find it hard not to write Shrek when refering to Andy?

I am looking forward to seeing an angry motivated Schleck tonight as he takes out his frustration on Astana.
