Mikel Landa Discussion Thread

Page 128 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
Landa said he has bruises everywhere. With the relatively easy stages coming this week, he should survive till Sunday.
That’s not great news. It always takes a lot of energy away from the body to recover. Might be energy he needs later on.

But it will make the Giro more exciting, because without this Landa would have won with more than 5 minute advantage. ;)

Yeah, i had the feeling he was the strongest yesterday, but couldn't go deeper with his fall. Let's hope he can recover quickly before the Aprica stage.

People always forget that stage Contador attacked after Landa had his mechanical. Astana wouldn't reel the Spaniard in, because Aru was having problems potentially losing his podium spot to Amador and Yuri Trofimov.

Otherwise Landa might've pulled the 2 attacks on Cervinia and Finestre. Yes he could've won like Leclercq always states. Not would have, but certainly could have. It's 1 minute less advantage for Contador then. Doable.

Aru destroyed Landa's & Rosa's biggest career victories. Horrible guy.

Landa attacked on Cervinia, but was marked by Contador (who let Aru go).

The thing to do was to attack early on Madonna di Campiglio once they had Contador isolated, they should have tried a 1-2 with Landa attacking first, forcing Contador to chase.
