It seems more and more clear that Aru will win the TDF by attacking on Mount Ventoux with one leg, winning 15 minutes on all his rivals. Either that, or Vino will shoot himself by prioritizing Aru over Nibali.

I hope he's going to comment on his struggles. Perhaps it's all part of the plan.
He already said before the race that he's just here to find his racing legs.

They all say that. He should be asked as to whether he thinks being this bad at the Dauphine is a good preparation for the Tour, especially when literally all of his competitors are much better.

Re:

if he stops wearing his disco google,.. I would have high hope that he'll bounce back. :D :D But so far his preparation has been sporadic. If he shows the form like what he got in prologue, then it's is what he got with his kind of preparation. (I don't even remember if he even finished any of his early season race or if finished, I don't even know where he ended up in the rank)

Dear Aru, this is not a letter, I just want to say that I will be at Le Tour together with Vincientzo. Signed, Vino.


ROFL something like that could even be very similar to what he'd write...that sounds goddamn scary..."this is not a letter" LOL.
The prince of Bahrain is a joke compared to Vino. Soviet terror always wins.

Lol...you think he is going to dom for Nibbes. His biggest target all year has been the Tour.
Yes,I think he will be allright for 2nd and 3rd week of Tour,...top 5 is doable ;)
 
So he said he will co lead with Nibali? That's interesting that Nibali is a protected rider, even after Giro. To be fair he was coming into form late at Giro, but I think it's still too much to ask to win TDF for Nibali.
