Haven't seen the stage yet, but awesome to see Aru took the win! He's got to be the breakthrough rider of the year by this point.

SeriousSam said:Another uphill sprint, another victory! Just needs to learn how to climb real mountains with the best and he'll be a force to be reckoned with.
Afrank said:Yeah, it's not like he's been doing that exact thing this whole Vuelta and the whole Giro.
SeriousSam said:There was one and only one stage that featured real mountains thus far. He lost a minute to the best climbers.

Electress said:I like Aru. I find him way more exciting / interesting a prospect than I did / do Quintana or Majka.
And whilst he's no stud-muffin, there are waaaaaaay less attractive guys out there in my book. (GT cycling is hardly stud-muffin central unless emaciation is your thang.*)
*Obviously there is an exception to prove this rule...
Mayomaniac said:Yes, and his GF looks fine
staubsauger said:Well maybe Italian beauties are more focused on intrinsic values!
SafeBet said:Aru needs a stylist, no kidding.
Anyway Giro sole leadership very likely at this point.

Jspear said:Maybe he can get some tips from Cipollini.
Electress said:Dear sweet holy lord no. He seems a sweet guy. don't let him go down the road of egomaniacal / show-off / controversy loving a---hole.
Electress said:Even if Aru is the only rival for Contador in the Giro, at least we can count on him giving it his best go.
