If Landa wasn´t hold back by the idiots in the car (for at least 3 mountain stages), he certainly could have had a chance to win this Giro. In a normal business Martinelli would be FIRED!

Whats with the comments on Conatdor beeing so. so? Fair enough he could not follow Landa, he still leads with 4 minutes in the GC. It bodes very well for the Tour..
Some of his fans claimed it's ridiculous to suggest Landa climbs better than Contador :p

People think: if he can't follow Landa, how on earth will he be able to beat Froome and Quintana and the Tour?

But i'm thinking: is there any better climber in the world then Landa now? :D

Bertie is here to win the Giro. There is no point in him killing himself just to go with Landa, who is too far behind to seriously challenge for pink. Bertie has bigger fish to fry.

Stevie K needs to be third now....

Yes. And they'll all be at the Tour.

Good point, probably no one at this point.

The difference between Contador and the 2nd best climbers aren't so big these days like before, that he can beat them when he is not in peak form. Landa is simply just better right now, we have all seen the signals on other stages.

It's amazing to think that Zakarin only had 40 seconds to the peloton at the bottom of the climb. Only Landa has ridden the climb faster than him so far.

I don't think so, i mean contador should easily be able to ride away from the rest.

I would love to see how that landa does against the other big 3 though. Beasting
