Re:

Again very poor from Astana and again Aru is obviously not Nibaly. They were 4 against Contador (not 3) and a three hundred meters from the chasing group but they didn't set any tempo.

They know Aru is weak

Aru really seems to suffer in the rain.

 

[BeagRigh]

I'm starting to think Betancur is actually going to win this stage!

Re: Re:

At least Astana have to release the Landa or Cataldo assuming Aru is weak in due time.

What was Nibali at this age? Water carrier for Pellizotti!

 

[the sceptic]

Gilbert in peloton?

Weak? Can be... but on a flat after a downhill, 4 on 1, they had to try something.

Aru doesn't look good. But he could be bluffing.

But could attack downhill. And, anyway, my consideration is good for the present moment. If you prefer: Aru is not yet Nibali.

Re: Re:

ROFL who was that FDJ guy in front? Man that was quite the descent
Epic stuff!

Geniez.. Not to be mistaken for Genius...

Genial! Genius! That was awesome

 

[Escarabajo]

LOL at Movistar. They don't want Ulissi in the group.

 

[Red Rick]

De Cauwer trolling Porte again

 

[Mozart92]

Maybe Aru is one of those riders who suffers terribly cold and rain.

Could be. We'll find out in the last kms.

 

[rick james]

Astana aren't very smart at racing

 

[ppanther92]

Ulissi few seconds behind. Has anyone seen Lobato, Matthews or Gilbert?

 

[HelloDolly]

Astana & Movistar so much more stronger than SKY & TCS

Aru was already the weakest of the 3 last wednesday, wasn't gonna close the gap on Contador if porte wasn't there.

TDF 7th place and a few months removed from GIro podium, I think.

I don't remember Porte showing any sign of strenght above the other two. He was always wheelsucking while Aru and Contador attacked each other. So...

 

[rick james]

Astana and Sky have numbers

 

[the sceptic]

always funny to get a shot of the peloton and see astana with like 8 of 40 riders.

Watch that stage again then cause aru wasn't gonna close the gap alone on Contador.

 

[BeagRigh]

Astana need to start attacking not riding on the front - especially if Aru is weak...
