Miburo said:The group still had 30 guys left i think and contador reduced it to 3 in one attack.
Easy going stage, rather easy climb and he does that with 1 attack.
And i think Aru will think twice before doing an attack saterday now.

He'll still try. Even though he's supposedly improved his TT leaps and bounds, he cannot just hang on and wait for the TT like Porte can. If he wins the Giro, it will be because he gains time in the mountains. He needs to use the superiority of his team wisely, it doesn't seem like he'll be able to drop them mano a mano
ray j willings said:I am a big Bertie fan and I am not as convinced as some of you. IMO Bertie did not look that at ease. I think a top form Bertie would have made that attack stick. I do still think he his strong enough to win but for me he does not look anywhere near as sharp as he did for most of last season.
I hope I am wrong and like Hitch said it could have been a tactical move. He also could have the Tour in the back of his mind and not thinking about reaching top top form until July. I hope so.
He's been in it more than any other active cyclist in the peloton (I think).LaFlorecita said:Berto in pink looks so strange.
Yeah, two days more than Basso.The Hitch said:He's been in it more than any other active cyclist in the peloton (I think).LaFlorecita said:Berto in pink looks so strange.
It actually didn't seem like he'd be able to drop them mano a mano before the Giro even started. You seem to have trouble with uncertainty. I guess you'll be sitting on the fence till after the Giro?Miburo said:SeriousSam said:Miburo said:The group still had 30 guys left i think and contador reduced it to 3 in one attack.

Time to put you on ignore. Or you're a troll or you've no clue what you're talking about.
Concluding that on stage 5, on an easy climb![]()

SeriousSam said:The Big 3 look to be closely matched in the mountains. I thought Aru would be the strongest but seeing how he seemed to have some trouble closing down the attack from Contador, whereas Richie didn't even really breathe hard just leisurely riding up to Bert, I give the edge to the Devil for now.
Jspear said:No doubt he'll be looking to give the jersey up. Hard to say who wants it and who will try to get in a breakaway to get it.
Well yes. But it's a darker pink this time and it's such a long time ago. I'm not complaining thoughThe Hitch said:He's been in it more than any other active cyclist in the peloton (I think).LaFlorecita said:Berto in pink looks so strange.

Yeah but now he definetely looks like he can drop them both.
What's exactly the point of refering to what happened before the Giro?
