If it was 30km shorter then he'd be in with a shout...

Won't be an issue, he'll crush it. At least wins by 1 min.

apart from an uber-ridiculous tt in pais vasco one year when has contador ever been even close to winning a tt by one minute

That itt wasn't ridiculous at all, in that kinda ITT Contador at his best is almost unbeatable. You forgot a *** Contador almost beating froome in tour 2013 tt?

You also forgot contador in the vuelta last year?

He'll crush it at 100%

I doubt he'll beat Uran on that course..

Re:

Uran will be cooked by that point.

 

[Netserk]

There hasn't been a real mountain stage yet at that point. Uran will boss it.

 

[Jelantik]

Porte might be flying too. Contador will have to be in A game by this point.

He has to be at his A game by the mountain stages,there he can make a difference.He will lose time in that tt,thats almost sure imo

What do you mean at that point? is the long TT on the third week?

 

[Jack_89]

For the first time , i'm seeing a good performance of the team in Pais Vasco

You're right, my bad it's actually at the perfect timing for Uran.

Let's hope it's continue forward and not backward. Tomorrow is a difficult stage again. We'll see how Majka fares with the rest.

In fact, I expected more from Kiserlowsky but I'm impressed by POLJANSKI (is he riding group on Antigua?) and also Maijka because the climb so short and hard not suit him. We'll see today

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yes, it was Poljanski on Antigua.

 

[indianfanboy]

Majka lost 25 secs today in the Arrate climb and Quintana couldnt follow Henao's attack in the steep section

Majka was all alone entering the climb very worrying since Movistar,Astana and Katusha had many men in the front

 

[LaFlorecita]

Manuele and Poljanski to Il Giro, please

 

[Miburo]

I've never seen Contador hyping up a gt so much as he's doing right now. Every post almost for the past months is about the giro. His shape will be insane i think.

Nice,i want the best Contador possible.Uran seems very determined too,he's training hard ,today posted something about a climb of 9km/14%.I hope Contador will not have an easy way and Porte and Uran will rise to the expectations.

Don't forget Aru. He almost looks as good as AC does climbing. He'll be up there.

Aru may be able to steal a stage once he's 3 min down.

Re:

once again Saxo riders caught in a crash.. too many of those affect the power of the team

 

[Jelantik]

this can't be happening. Another string of bad luck.!! Matti crashed and Sagan mechanical just on the crucial moment. De javu? TS is like sky last year!!! Oleg bad karma casting the spell on the team. Wonder what he is going to tweet now. Sagan didn't even in top 3 in all of his target and outside top 10 at PR. Typically when you get a string of bad luck, seems the that year isn't going to be your year. I hope this doesn't spill to Contador. *finger crossed*

Oleg is poison imo....... Heads will roll soon.

Sooner or later it will effect Alberto, he needs a decent team.

 

[BlurryVII]

When is Contador starting the altitude TC in Teide??
