[Matteo.]

The strongest by far today. Really exciting ride fabio

If Aru can do another strong ride on stage 12 he could gain significant time.

 

[Eclipse]

Angelic. Gonna need a lot more like that but at least we can always count on him to try

 

[Squirbos_19]

Fantastic win by Fabio. Really looking forward to what he can do in the rest of this Tour.

 

[Jspear]

Aye. I agree. Also nice seeing the Italian championship jersey on such a rider.

 

[contador_attacks]

Always attacking, Fabio!! Always attacking! Wonderful! #ContadorMaterial

Good win by Aru. I was surprised by the time gap.

 

[SeriousSam]

He's looking strong, looking very good for a place on the podium

 

[BigMac]

Nice win from BestLegsInThePeloton™.

Hope there's more to come.

 

[bob.a.feet]

It's also great to see him back to possibly even better than his 2015 form following a down year in 2016. I see a lot of GT wins in Fabio's future.

Was that the Mollema level today, Tonton?

 

[Blanco]

Great win! He should try on Mont du Chat also, maybe he can blow this race into pieces there...

He has to. That stage is his best chance.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I was very disappointed in Richard Porte today, but Fabu made sure there is at least something to be excited about. He didn't get anything today from Sky, he was just stronger. His best performance to date - hopefully he will do this again further from the top of Chat.

Great Fabu.

He attacked on Chat in the Dauphine so he will probably attack there during Tour as well.

Aru looks almighty strong. A true Tour favorite. Impressive!

 

[latino]

Aru looks like the only one who can fight with Froome for the yellow jersey.

Lance Armstrong saying Aru's number 51 is the most winiest number of the Tour

Re:

not true but it is by far the most meaningfull number. Much more than nr 1.

 

[Brullnux]

He'll be in polka dots until stage 8 at least, could be something we may get used to (unlikely actually as stage 9 has two HC climbs on the first half)

 

[Red Rick]

Man.

Aru's abiity to go from 2/3km out and never stop hammering is very underrated. That guy just keeps going when he's off.

 

[MovistarRider]

A very impressive display today from Aru, I expected him to be strong but this was really impressive. Looking forward to see what Aru and Astana have planned for the weekend. Expect him (Backed by Jakob Fuglsang) to give Sky, Porte and the rest some headache from now on.

PS: That kit he's wearing is GOLD!

 

[silvergrenade]

Congratulations to Fabio Aru...
What a ride?
Didn't really expect such an amazing ride. The sky train went off-raill with his acceleration. Great attack,
Chapeau!

 

[Carols]

ARRRUUUUU!!! Awesome ride . Hopefully he and Astana save us from a Sky borefest!

 

[Brullnux]

Whenever a rider from Astana has won on the Planche des Billes Filles in the tricolore jersey, they have gone on to win the Tour.

Fact.
