Nibali won his first GT at 25 at the Vuelta after coming 3rd at the Giro. Will Aru win his first GT at the Vuelta at 25 after coming 3 (minus one) at the Giro?

Majka can take about a minute in TT if he recovers well. But I don't see anyone taking time on Astana, especially not with the level of support that Tinkoff provided.
THe only question is whether Dumoulin can minimize the losses on remaining MTF

Re:
I used to be sceptical about his climbing skills in very hard stages. Now I'm convinced. He can win a GT.
I disagree. Aru is in the best shape of his life. He'll be good.damian13ster said:

I like him too, he isnt afraid to attack when he is at his game. This guy doesnt want to wait if he's got it. I must admit I was at Landa's side at the Giro and as a result didnt like Aru super much, but whatever, respect for him today and another one to look out for in the GT's for the top spot which always is nice.
think he will tt much better thn what most people seem to think. Has been practicing a lot, and said himself that the tt in the giro was his off day, so I think we can excpect him to do a very decent tt
Good. Ride yesterday! I like the guy, he attacks a lot but he needs to put more time on Dumoulin tho.
Aru still need to gain some serious time if he wants to win. And Landa can't just go on the attack, he need to be there with him. He need to gain at least a minute on Tom in each of the 3 hard mountain stages before the TT.
How much time can Dumoulin put into Aru in a 40k TT? 4 minutes? Maybe even more.

I'd even go as far as saying that Landa could destroy Aru's chances of winning the overall if he wants to go on the attack and win more stages.
They can still go Saunier Duval style.
If Landa is the strongest climber and Aru apparently the strongest favorite, Mikel simply can froome him up the mountains and fly away in the last kilometres.
Astana is powerful enough to control the breaks anyway.

I'm really looking forward to Landa v Aru at the Giro next year. Perhaps throw in Porte a well.

Aru has long road to travel until he becomes first rider in Astana.staubsauger said:

You and your Sky delusionsRe:
Landa has not mixed it with the big boys Aru has and looks pretty dam good.
Lets see what happens if they ride a stage together. No getting up the road in Breaks.
