By then he will have lost 32 minutes already due to crosswinds, falls, not paying attention or whatever other stupid thing can happen to Landa.

You think he'll lose that much time during the Hungarian stages alone?
Remember, stage 4 is going to Etna.

Olano is making friends among landistas:

"Perseverance needs to be worked out. I've never seen him emptying himself out in a TT"

Olano also brings out the obvious comparison with Chaba: lack of training discipline, focus and sacrifice.
He is quite right..except in SKy, with them he did and he got not bad result at ITT.
anyway wwhat I want from him, and I say this directly to Mikel just before sign for SKY, is that he flies in the mountains.. i am happy just with that... anyway to get a good result in the overall woyh the current big names, he has not other options that to work hard on the ITT bike.

Was that Landa today trying to go with the late attackers or was that one of his cousins? He managed to look, dare I say it, almost ugly on the bike trying to follow Tao...

He is no so good as Pogacar, but IMO, if someone can crack him in a serius mountains stage, in a race as the Giro, is him....Hope him make some good performances. he has that magic...

Today the team didnt work for him as Ineos did for Carapaz..Maybe Landa doenst want to start with so many pressure, But is not good to lose thoes 4 secons.
Important thing today is he didnt crash, it was a difficult day for that and there were at least 2 crashes at the end.
Stage 3 is anothe day to avoid a crash, at least a had one. With that he will have lot of option to figh for the Giro and even the race, although Carapez is a difficult rider to beat, climbing close to Pogacar.
