Dropped Chain is very costly for Andy Schleck ... ...

On the 15th stage of Tour de France from Pamiers to Bagneres de Luchon of 187.5km race on Monday, 19 July, Andy Schleck's cycle bucked him out of yellow jersey just as he was making a bid for time gains on his chief rival Alberto Contador with about three km to climb and although he opened up a solid advantage, he ultimately lost the battle because of a mechanical problem!! His chain was dropped and got wedged between his crank ans the bottom bracket. Andy had 31' lead over Contador before this stage. after repairing his cycle, once Cantador had lead about 23' but when the race finished, Andy lost by 39' and Contador took very very important 8' overall lead. Now it is almost difficult to wear the Yellow Jersey again for Andy. Watch the Tour de France and keep eye on the tactics of Andy and Contador now.
