Awesome. Looks like a great guy too, very humble and down to earth.

He cracked hard at one stage, while Tira followed relatively well and was in the top 10 of the gc. Tira cracked to a couple of stages later, but at the time he did not sacrifice himself for Kreuziger for the same reason as Aru didn't sacrifice himself for Scarponi earlier in this giro and Kash and Kloden stayed in the peloton in the tour 07 when Vino fell. Nothing to do about backstabbing.

Don't understand what you mean. The in which he cracked was later stage, I think 16th.
And about the depressing days in GT's - Astana in those days was crap of the team. Now situation is different, team is much stronger. All responsibility for results in stage races was on Kreuziger. He was supposed to do Tour in 2011 but they made him race Giro I think, because of Vino who wanted Tour for himself. That was mistake. It wasn't good team for Kreuziger and I'm glad for him that he left. In Saxo he's doing better, I think something was wrong in Astana. Too much Vino and Martinelli would be one reason.

And lets no forget the link between big teeth and big cojones has been scientifically proven many times in the past.

Aru!!! _O_

What a stage, and what a beutiful win! Now take the Giro with storm!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

"For me it's a huge satisfaction to win here because Pantani was an immense champion, a fuoriclasse," Aru said. "But I've only done something quite small in comparison to what he did. I’m just happy to have won here.”

Thats my man Aru

Not gonna lie, developing a bit of man-crush on him.

I just read the CQ article, 6% bodyfat? Alien levels. Auschwitz levels. Insane. I'm strolling around at 10-11% and people think I'm really skinny. They have no idea.

He is good looking, so alien levels are acceptable

Yup, unlike dawg. Lol.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

actually 6% is still much, most climbers have like 4/5% body fat.

 

[jsem94]

True. It's insane what cycling has gotten to. The pictures of Rasmussen back in the day used to scare the **** out of me. The quest for W/kg is crazy.

Has Moser been racing at all this year?

No he's been sick since Strade Bianche 2013. He's been sending his twin to race in place of him
