Contador might as well have taken a nap. Another fail from Astana.

Nap or no I don't kno
All I kno he is close to getting zero stage wins.

P.S. Kangert Aru and Landa and Contador isolated. What about you Basso man and rogers helping Contador?
When I say don't become like Taxus i mean it.

wtf

How was it a fail?

They know they can't beat Contador. Everyone knows they can't beat Contador. May as well consolidate 2nd and 3rd and get a 3rd stage win.

Go for a 4th stage win tomorrow with Landa or someone from the break

He's already said that a stage win isn't his concern. He's got the GC as his goal with one eye on the tour. His words, kind of.

I have to admit, Landa is playing the teammate role very well. Much better than Stick Insect Froome did in 2012 to Wiggins. Clearly Landa could and should be second in the race, but he seems content to let Aru have it, and to babysit him.

Uran gets a podium!!!! .....a stage podium...
Well I'm guessing another Giro podium would've mean less for him than anyone but Contador. BTW, on Contador, all that needed to be said is that his next Giro stage win would be his first. Which is why I think he's a prime candidate for tomorrow (as someone pointed out a few days ago, he likes to win on weekends).

Good ride by Aru, but he must be a bit sour about this win. Surely he knows that Contador sees him as no threat, he probably won't say anything but it would probably hurt his confidence a bit.

Time for Contador to actually stretch his legs with the warm down

All those Sky guys employed by Oleg brought in some revolutionary training methods like warming down. That's how you win big races.

Alberto to go full *** tomorrow?

No .

lol.. why? he has the tour in mind. No stage win, so what? He got his revenge yesterday. B/c none of his rival is going to aim to win double anyway. Smart ride by AC.

Astana trying to make sure that Contador never gets official stage win in Giro?? (Official record and myself don't count wins when caught and suspended for doping)

I don't think Contador gives a ***. He didn't win a stage in 2008 and it won't bother him that he didn't win a stage here. Stages are secondary. Winning a GT is the most important thing.

Maybe you should learn English before you criticize others
