I hope he rides Lombardia, many riders that ride the WC could suffer because of the jetlag, maybe he has a shot with a late attack.

Nibali said he wants Giro, Aru said he wants Tour, Astana management must be really dumb to disappoint both of them.huge said:Brullnux said:Tour + Rio next year for him http://video.gazzetta.it/aru-ecco-c...tour-rio/eb689b8c-5a15-11e5-a07a-26fe419e0562
He just said that he would like to ride the Tour, but nothing has been decided yet. Plans will made later on along with his team management.
Pippo_San said:You guys are crazy if you think he's better than Nibali as of now. He's improving, and Nibs just had a bad year. But there's a HUGE difference in their skillsets right now.
IMHO Nibs deserves another shot at the Tour. Nibs 2014 edition was something epic.
Landa vs the Super Sputnik, it should be one hell of a fightjens_attacks said:I think he must avoid il giro next year because landa will crush souls there.
Marco Pantani said:The way he's progressing is impressive, but he needs improve much more, to come close to Quintana, Froome, Contador, Nibali and Landa.
This first GT win will help him.

Ricco' said:malakassis said:...on the other hand, why not show him the tour? fassa bortolo took basso with 24 years in the 2002 tour. he won the white jersey. as quintana next year will be 26 aru could go for white.
Aru is from the same year of Quintana (1990), he won't be eligible for young rider classification next year.
Gibo always rode the Giro before the Tour and Cunego was 11th and best young rider after a 4th place in the Giro in 2006 and 7th in 2011, compared to the rest of his career his tour results aren't bad.malakassis said:Ricco' said:malakassis said:...on the other hand, why not show him the tour? fassa bortolo took basso with 24 years in the 2002 tour. he won the white jersey. as quintana next year will be 26 aru could go for white.

right lol, didnt think to this. 2016 tour starts on july 2nd. aru will turn 26 on july 3rd. so he has 1 day right for white jersay or what?
btw in the interview with ghisalberti he looks so small like schoolboy. but his legs real climber legs like coppi. he should go tour for sure just without pressure. many italian GC boyz failed in the tour (cunego,simoni...) its normal
The difference is that Dumoulin had no team support and proved to be very strong on the punchy climbs, where he also gained time.Jelantik said:congrats to Fabio. Finally he won his first GT. No offence to Dumoulin, but I would rather see rider like Aru won the mountainous vuelta. Enough with the Wiggins type rider.. again no offense. Just happy to see a searing long range attack in the mountain instead of padding time in ITT. If he is going to be a contender for Giro and tour, he'd better work with his ITT. Chapeau Astana and Fabio!!
