Van Den Broeck: "I'm a bit angry at Gilbert"

24

"I'm a bit angry at Gilbert, as you may imagine. On the final climb, I got a small gap, and Gilbert closed it. . . . Perhaps he made a tactical error. It wasn't his job to do that. He should have sat back and let Contador, Evans and Vinokourov do the work. Then, he could have won the sprint. . . . We discussed it in the evening. As teammates and adults. Things like this happen." Gilbert: "He didn't say anything to me before he went, he's someone who doesn't say much, I thought he was going to lead me out for the sprint."
