on my telly, he did attack. and finally, letting schleck take the stage, whilst not heroic is sporting. he'll go down in history as being one of a few (is it 7?) to win the tour without winning a stage, when it's possible that he could have won the stage but for sparing schleck's feelings.
having said that, contador will have a bit of a hollow victory after gaining his 8sec lead from schleck's mechanical, rather than purely being the best
