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

They know Aru is weak
Weak? Can be... but on a flat after a downhill, 4 on 1, they had to try something.

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

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

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...

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