Re:

Astana boys will bonk hard today as their team and not Tinkoff's will be leading the peloton...Landa and Aru need help to get them up the mountains before they are isolated...Contador with actual help is game over for all

Contador will be isolated and Astana will be 3 or more. He may get help from other teams but not from rubbish tinkof.

 

[Lexman]

Paulinho fading away ...

we must be lucky that Contador rode most of his career for teams who didn't get him the proper support, otherwise the GT didn't have to take place... imagine Contador in Giro's Astana team of 2015...

Aru, Landa and Kangert maybe. Tira will be dropped earlier due to too much effort. Contador will have Kreu and either Basso or Rodgers given that Astana are setting the pace.

Don't become like Taxus. Just don't!

Astana doing a Liquigas '12 train. Bah.

weird feeling in the tinkoff bus if anyone caught it on eurosport earlier

 

[Arredondo]

Haussler climbing well!

 

[Lexman]

Who's that with Contador?

edit : Kreuziger and Rogers it seems

 

[Andro]

Kreuziger already gone.

 

[Taxus4a]

Totally disspointing stage...

How so? What happened? Tinkov being a jerk?

not over yet

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Basso actually looks good. Time to rise, Ivan!

 

[Taxus4a]

Defensive move from Astana.

 

[thrawn]

Apparently this is the 250th consecutive GT stage Adam Hansen has ridden in. Impressive effort.

it is doenst matter what happend from now, it is dissapointing, with a stage wot so many people in the peloton now nothing really spectacular could happen....or at least much lees that possible...

Re:

Was about to post this. What a disappointment.

They should just say f*** it and go all in. Who cares about 2 guys on the podium? And Landa is so much stronger than anyone not named Contador that no one has a chance to pass him anyway.

Well you don't have to expect much from 7% gradients. 8% or more for spectacle.

Its bound to happen. Landa and Aru are probably not as good today (or preventing yesterdays hiccup) while they ride defensivly. Tinkoff are happy with the proceedings. Status quo. I think Movistar should start to show up today.

 

[Stilletto]

who is left for Astana & Tinkoff? is it Cataldo pushing since the foot of the climb?
What was the feeling in the Tinkoff meeting?

Fair enough, but I'm still expecting the race to get blown open on the last climb.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Astana are absolutely hilarious.

Rolf Sørensen is speaking of a headwind on danish TV. Might explain the size of the peloton

 

[Arredondo]

Look at the wind. They could have bonked the field.

 

[Irondan]

Uran's going to finish this race even if it kills him..
