10 seconds between 1st and third. Contador with a TT cockpit maybe wins. I didn't see him actually use the drops, just the hoods.
Froome doesn't switch bikes, maybe doesn't win.
Doesn't affect the GC much though

Pretty much looks like very tiny differences due to equipment choice. Hopefully cyclenutz will crunch the numbers, but I doubt going full aero vs full ww vs bike change would be enough to alter the results by a significant amount.Yeah a full TT cockpit might have done it. He did have the Vuka Sprint bars on (from what I could tell), but it's not unfathomable to think he could have gained 10 seconds without the hoods and drops out there taking wind for 51 minutes.
Edit: In looking at the photos, it looks like he didn't use Vuka Sprint bars. Not sure why you wouldn't, unless the clip-ons couldn't fit on the Vuka Sprints.
