Who was that commentator?Velolover2 said:Commentator to Adam Hansen: Gilbert won two stages for your team. You must be happy.

Wasn´t aware of that. 6 h 40
We may have to go all the way back to 1932 to see something similar...
News about AST screwing Landa: German TV commentator just said he was called back by the car Idiots (Martinelli & Co).
Again: Never seen something like this. Intentionally throwing away the Giro, KOM, and trashing a rider like ****.
When Lemond was hold back, at least the DSes made sure the team wins the GT anyway (with Hinault).
If not a brain-dead like Martinelli was in the car, AST could have dominated like Renault in 1984.
I am still pissed, not over it yet.

Likely. Landa was held back so many times, I can´t even remember how many stages it was. Phuck, he was even held back until very late when he still won the stages.
Unlikely, you also have to factor in the fact, that he did not have pressure of being the designated leader of the team, that would changed quite a few dynamics to the race.FoxxyBrown1111 said:Cance > TheRest said:a possible but unlikely attempt to win the Giro*FoxxyBrown1111 said:Red Rick said:Wow, last rider on GC more than 6 hours and 40 minutes down.

No one stopped him from attacking on the Mortirolo after Aru was dropped. He chose to suck wheels up the last 6k of the Mortirolo, the descent and until the last 3k of Aprica.
Some English guy who made pre-interviews with the riders.Cance > TheRest said:Who was that commentator?Velolover2 said:Commentator to Adam Hansen: Gilbert won two stages for your team. You must be happy.

It's even more pathetic if you remember that he actually was unleashed at Campitello Matese where he ruined Aru's chance to wear the pink jersey for a week.
Later on he was held back ruining his chance to win the Giro. And I'm pretty confident he could've gained enough time over and over again in those mountain stages. Nevertheless the tt time lost.
I fear this may have been his once in a lifetime chance like with Felipe Massa in 2008.
Anyway, Aru has to be in his best shape for the Vuelta and Astana needs better tactics to not make up polemics again!

Marco Coledan... some family ties to Guercilena apparently, otherwise it is inexplicable how he could have gotten a contract on a WT squad
And he waited a few meters before the finish line in order to be last in the GC.Christian said:Red Rick said:Wow, last rider on GC more than 6 hours and 40 minutes down. I've never seen that before
