Also - AC does have a history of 'letting the guy who does all the work up the mountain' get the stage win, especially when it doesn't mean anything to the overall. See 2010 TDF vs Andy Schleck on the Tourmalet.
No - but just as well on this one if he isn't bothered coming 2nd on this race.
I don't think Froome is going to repay him any favours for this stage though.
Edit: Nevermind, just rewatched that stage, and it hardly looked like Contador was letting him win. More like relieved it was over.
