Thumbs up from Astana team car. LOL.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Hahaha epic Astana team car shots.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Thumbs up (Shefter or watever his name is, in the car)? What an idiot. I feel like spitting in his face.

 

[BigMac]

How exactly have Astana failed today? Sorry, I just started watching. They may pull 1-2.

 

[WheelofGear]

Wonder what Vino thinks about this crazy move.

Re:

Landa is crap on the flat, Zakarin did'd do a thing and maybe Aru's group just caught them.

Nah, you could see when they still had 50 seonds that Landa made a gesture to Zakarin to indicate he was going to wait. After that he clearly didn't ride full gas.

He didn't run out of energy either because he instantly starting leading the group at a fast pace as soon as Aru caught him.

Landa the MUG

Re:

It can't be that Contador is in such a bad form.. he have been on pair or slighly below Landa in this race, but much stronger than Aru.

He haven't been eating enough or something. Sugar crisis.

Damn it, will have to rewatch entire stage. Hate being in different timzeone :/
Landa was held back by Astana entire race. Looks like they prefer 2nd with Aru 3rd with Landa from 1st with Landa 3rd with Aru. Its all about Italian golden boy.

30 minutes ago it looked like Astana was riding with some smarts. Now Landa, Aru, and their DS's are working like idiots....they quickly changed.

 

[webvan]

Haha, Aru even hit Landa's wheel to try to get rid of him ;-)

Re:

Rigo like I said?

call of the day if he does

 

[sultanofhyd]

Useless Amador train is slower than Contador

Masterful recovery by Contador after that crisis. Astana tactics a lot less impressive.

 

[glassmoon]

Waited on Mortirolo, waited today... damn Landa really could've won this giro. Or at least put AC under significant pressure.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Contador may lose 3 minutes by the end.

Re: Re:

Astana's tactics are ridiculous. Landa's attack was totally pointless now that Aru's group has caught up. I *almost* feel bad for Landa. Almost.

And of course Astana, before Landa attack, totally expected that Aru will be able to outclimb Contador. It's very easy to sit behind a computer and be a wise guy after the fact.

Are you dumb? Landa sat up and WAITED for Aru to catch up. And as soon as they did, Landa turned it back on and the gap opened up. He had 1:37 at the top.

 

[The_Cheech]

In all seriousness, Tinkoff HAS to get Alberto a proper team.

No more time for bullsh*tting.

Enough is enough.

Can Kruijswijk still win blue?

 

[Irondan]

Ryder for the win!

It's not so much that they failed today. It's that they failed over the Giro as a whole. If they had allowed Landa to go all out from the start he'd probably be quite a bit closer to Contador in the GC, so today might have actually been close.

 

[happytramp]

Landa had exactly zero chance of winning the Giro today. Who cares what Astana did, It would have made no difference.

 

[Carols]

Hesjedal please win this!
