Is Landa's Giro the greastest appearance on a GT...

[Hyman]

since Pantani & Berzin in 1994?

Discuss.

 

[Aguirre]

Yes, can be. Just amazing

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Have a read of the Fantasy Doping Draft thread. There's some serious competition for outstanding breakouts in the intervening period.

 

[Jagartrott]

He seems to ride effortlessly.
Makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. Well, more than somewhat, actually.

 

[GuyIncognito]

No.

Froome 2011.
Nozal 2003. Because while he didn't climb like Landa, he was close and TTed out of this world

No kidding. At least Landa has climbed before.

But I did see Landa zig-zag while he was checking facebook towards the top of the Mortirolo.

Pantani 1994

Cunego 2004
Garzelli 2000
Cobo 2011
Armstrong 1999

Landa sure put on a clinic today.

 

[Rollthedice]

If he would have finished the ITT 10 sec slower than Contador he might have been a contender. On another note surely people can't forget Horner 2013. It's true his appearance was a bit late but nevertheless.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Pérez 2004.

Raimondas Rumsas

 

[Red Rick]

Kenny van Hummel

 

[Bavarianrider]

Ugrumov 1995, Ullrich 1996

Probably first time full ***. GT wise.

Boom.

Santi takes it for me as well.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

In recent years:
Rujano: 2005 Giro
Gutierrez Cataluna: 2006 Giro (although not a real challenge to RoboBasso)
Peter Velits: 2010 Vuelta
Kaschechkin: 2006 Vuelta
Pereiro Sio: 2006 Tour (mostly luck on his part).

Ofcourse Froome tops all of the above examples, as he litterally came out of nowhere in 2011.
