Mikel Landa Discussion Thread

[HelloDolly]

Either this or his new contract gives him peace and sets his mind free. Who knows? Nobody knows, neither Landa.

A (mind) free Landa is a dangerous Landa

Hasn't really done well in the Vuelta before but there is always a first time
He might be playing down expectation but I think he will be riding for GC

 

[durtyfat7]

If he has the shape he has in the spring, where do you expect him to finish?

8th

Well IT & TTT will lose him time but a top 5 is possible

There's less than 40km of TT, so he shouldn't lose more than 2-3 mins to Roglic/Vingegaard/Evenepoel. Let's hope he can finally be good at the Vuelta.

 

[Netserk]

top-5 is possible, but I think it's more likely for him to end up around 7th.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He should forget about GC and hunt stages instead.

Do Landisimo freaks dare to dream once more?

week three, I might concede a heart murmur

 

[durtyfat7]

If he regains his form he has at the beginning of the season, he can be on the podium

Won't happen again this season.

Maybe he has been playing possum since June in order to get some breakaway time to give him a head start and now he is going to unleash 2015 Giro Landa.

Hope that today is a good day for Mikel.

It's good enough, no? Best thing of the day for me.

First of the mortals

Can't wait to see Remco working for Landa.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's a shame that JV are so strong, cause he would have had a chance to podium otherwise.

 

[Netserk]

Fastest riders on Angliru:

Heras
Rogla
Vingegaard
-LANDA-
Kuss
Horner
Contador
Poels

 

[Pinot's goat]

Looks like I was wrong fortunately. Top form is coming, 4th is the minimum but there can be hope that Kuss blows up or Landa gets into a move with Roglic or Vingegaard and the others have to sit on behind.

 

[HelloDolly]

Well IT & TTT will lose him time but a top 5 is possible

and he could maybe do better

Thank f**k for Landisimoooooooooo saved Kuss's red jersey today

Love if he does better in this Vuelta

 

[durtyfat7]

Can't wait to see Remco working for Landa.

I'm sure Remco is more than happy when he sees Landa performing like that, he will have the best domestique and I won't be surprised if the association Remco-Landa will be similaire to Wiggins-Froome

Classic Landa, no filter.

 

[HelloDolly]

Love that Landa comment ....well there is no issue with landa being ruthless enough to be a winner ...

 

[Valv.Piti]

Bahrain has animated a few stages now on behalf of Mikel. When he has something in his legs, and he has the team to make something happen, he always delivers.

Aupa Mikel!

It’s also an apropos reply—those post-race interviews are so short, the reporter should be focusing on Landa’s excellent performance and about his team tactics. Not very respectful to ask about the dynamics on a different team. But it’s journalism, so digging for clickbait,
