Too bad Landa didn't lose this race.

He was by far the strongest but didn't try to increase his lead.

How? Drop everybody by five minutes and ride solo TT for 30K on false flat?

Just attack. When you defend your lead so easily.

First ever Spanish winner of Trentino.
I thought he didn't want to be associated with Spain :confused: considering he refused to take off his cap during the Spanish anthem.
That would be even more awkward if he managed to actually win the Giro this year :eek:

Landa was the strongest by far in this Trentino , he deserved it.
Hope he'll do the double in May

One of the best stage races this season.

Landa totally deserved this win, withstanding every attack from left and right. I also cannot help but feel that Kangert got the most out of this race.He was dropped almost every stage and yet he found a way to end up with 2 stage wins and a 2nd place in GC. People who claim Fuglsang should have done more in the sprint clearly needs to rewatch it. Pirazzi stopped riding and therefore set Fuglsang back in the sprint.

Landa incredibly strong but he has no tactical sense whatsoever. Two days in a row he's been clueless and risked losing this bike race.

Landa almost lost the race by chasing down that break with Pirazzi and Peraud for no reason. Big tactical mistake!

Having them in front, taking the bonus seconds, would've been the perfect scenario for him.

I'm pretty sure he was trying to slow it down. It didn't look like he wanted to catch them IMO.

I also think from reading between the lines Poels will leave SKY (if he can as so many riders on the market) at end of the year

Who to, though?

Not sure but guess he is frustrated with lack of Giro leadership and just a feeling

Maybe Trek....they need riders big time and also there is GIANT , OGE ...BMC as they have Giro leadership on offer ...with both Porte & TJ riding the Tour

That is bs. Poels said in an interview in dutch papers after fw, not even a few days ago that he really wants to stay at Sky and renew his contract.
