Schleck slipped his chain in the process of escaping the group of overall contenders near the top of the Porte de Balès, and Contador ignored one of the unwritten rules of cycling etiquette by responding and attacking the yellow jersey in his moment of difficulty.
Rather than waiting for the Luxembourger, Contador blasted clear with Denis Menchov (Rabobank) and Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) while Schleck gave desperate pursuit on the descent to the finish. Contador finished at 2:50 behind Voeckler, while Schleck reached the line at 3:29.
The incident will likely turn into one of the great debates surrounding this Tour de France, much like in 2003 when Lance Armstrong crashed on the climb to Luz Ardiden when a spectator's musette caught his bars. Back then, Jan Ullrich waited for him, but was it fair for Contador to continue his attack while Schleck was stopped with a dropped chain?
"It's not up to me to decide if it was fair or not, but I wouldn't have raced like that," said a seething Schleck after the finish, having already surrendered his yellow jersey. "My belly is so full of anger right now ... I'm going to want to get my revenge."

When this quintet was reeled in, Schleck launched a more emphatic attack and quickly opened up a gap. Contador was initially unable to respond but just as it seemed as though Schleck was about to deliver a major blow in the race for yellow the Luxembourger slipped his chain. While he stood at the roadside trying to get his bike sorted out, Contador blasted past him with Sanchez and Menchov on his wheel. For the first time in the stage, the Spaniard had abandoned the game of cat and mouse with Schleck, and in the least appealing of manners.
