Aru shipped 20+ seconds yesterday but can hold off the ENTIRE PELETON TODAY???
There is no way he can hold off, Giant, Cofidis, Katusha who were all fully committed and its a joke. You could see from the helicopter shots that they were 2 close.
I'm so annoyed because he doesn't deserve that victory since he got sooooo much help from the camera bike.
Cav spoke about this recently how unfair it is.
Either the slipstream was outrageous or something else was helping him.
Because there is no way that should have happened!
* Entire peloton ? Much doms were dropped or diminished from the last climb
* Thus they werent fully commited to the chase. You have seen that the peloton struggled to organize the chase. Quite technical descent helped the lonely man.
* I did not really see like 6/7 riders from Katusha/Cof/Giant leading the peloton, that means there were not full forces to chase him down.
* Unexpected, crazy, strange maybe, but respect that awesome ride from the guy who took 21" on a longer climb yesterday. Not the same profile at all, GC teams were riding fast yesterday and faced many attacks. That one looked though on the steepest part but thats it. He clearly attacked at the right moment. Best evidence that ypu can't compare it to yesterday climb ? Bouhanni, Bennet, Kristoff were still there today. So don't even try the "there is something going wrong" talk.
