Re: Re:

Only 1 guy to go before AC literally has destroyed everyone on this stage. Vamos Alberto!

Landa (looks the strongest rider in Giro) and Kruijswijk?

Oh, I meant Landa. Surely he will have no problems killing Kruijswijk here. Landa on the other hand.. I'm quite sure that Contador will solo to victory though.

in the mountains it's a big "Perhaps". But GT's consist of time trials too, u know

Re:

It's actually quite funny how Kruijswijk is riding. He is really looking like Contadors dom.

Yea but it's not like what anton did. He has to for his GC.

Re:

Contador, Landa and Amador on the Giro podium.

What a race!

Don't think it's that simple. Contador and Landa sure, but Aru won't lose much on Amador. The fight for 3rd will probably be the main excitement in the final week.

 

[Arredondo]

Aru will lose more time on Ologno and Finestre the next days. The opponents taste blood.

Re:

why is Landa looking back?? Aru is almost 2 minutes..

He is looking for an Astana car.. which isn't there

 

[Sasquatch]

Hopefully they gift Kruijswijk the stage. Can't see it happening though.

 

[Velolover2]

Landa is just sitting there. Could ruin an epic stage win for Contador.

Re:

he is moving upward on his GC position, He is the one that gains more advantages...

I like the way Hesjedal looks behind and everytime he sees Aru, he just up the pace a little more haha..

 

[hfer07]

WTF is wrong with Landa? he looks so dangerously fresh!!!

Re: Re:

Stage win.

And of course the feeling of riding with the 2 best riders in the Giro, and probably the best in the last decade.

Re: Re:

Sardinian pony coming back according to the motorman Max Lelli

Yes, looks like it. That may make the difference as to whether he loses 2 or 3 minutes today.

now going backwards ...

Yeah sure, but Aru is just really struggling on the steep climbs. Ologno and Finestre will give a similar scenario imo.

Higher than that. I think Kruijswijk could finish 5th-7th.

Thats just how he roll

Re: Re:

Tinkoff will owe him?

 

[Miburo]

People gonna be so mad if landa wins this lol

 

[damian13ster]

Re:

He is taking a leisure ride through entire Giro while babysitting Aru

 

[Ramira]

Re:

Well he went 50 seconds slower than Contador on Mortirolo. So he never really had to go close to his limit, he rode the entire climb at the pace of either Aru or Kruijswijk, neither of whom is as good as he is.

 

[Jelantik]

Aru.. is struggling... still 11 km. He is slipping off the podium!.. oh my

 

[SeriousSam]

Astana have just given Landa the green light for going full ***.

Transfer rumors: Kruijswijk to Tinkoff
