Should make him likeable in the AC camp for sure

 

[Gloin22]

To be fairfor most new future stage racers, their 'legends' will either be Indurain, Contador or Pantani(?) so no surprise. Who wouldn't want to climb like Contador

Everytime a young rider says he admires one of my favorite riders, his score's up in my book. And since I really like Aru already, his route is even easier now to be one of my favorites

 

[Futuroscope]

Quintana and Froome better watch out this Vuelta. The mouflon will be on the loose in the mountains.

I'm not sure what to expect from Aru at Vuelta.
His talent promises a lot, but it will be his second GT of the season and not the favorite one.
Would be nice to see him motivated to rub shoulders with the heavyweights, though.

I'm so looking forward to see what Fabio can do in this coming Vuelta I have flash views of him, Nairito & the Alien dropping the soul out of the rest of the peloton at will and then fighting among themselves for honours

vai Aru!!!

Strange. I remember him saying Pantani was among his idols growing up. Maybe it was PR bull**** after Montecampione.

Plenty of PR crap these days even from the riders at the beginning of their careers. Not exactly the best way to introduce themselves to the audience. Instead of showing their real persona and making their authentic appearance, they're trying to attract the fans through mutual sympathies.
But this Contador thing could develop into something constructive for all associated sides.

He already said durning the Giro that Contador was his favourite rider

Amazing! The only thing I could possibly look at improving is making Astana suit a bit darker/like in a shade. The contrast is killing my eyes

He was sprinting nicely today too.

 

[LosBrolin]

got out of hands, now the whole man is burning

edit. sorry about kind of double and posting just pictures. He rode well today indeed. Will be nice to see whats coming up.

 

[damian13ster]

Damn, thats impressive. Great work!

It does look like he is burning but its pretty epic

 

[TANK91]

Martinelli is drunk aint he? "It is almost, almost stronger than the Tour". Not almost lol it is.

 

[SeriousSam]

Will he able to hold the wheel of the big guys like Kelderman when the road goes uphill in the coming days?

Don't inult Aru lol. Hold the wheel? Aru has proven in a GT to be a "tiny" bit better uphill. I do believe Kelderman has more chance of a GT win though call me crazy but i think in TDF with 70+ITTKM he will win a few Tours his progression has been great this year.

Aru will smash!

 

[Afrank]
