Why would Landa have to let Crush go? Because he helped distance his team leader?sunnyIce said:AC wants this stage bad, but I think presence of Kruis complicates it for him. For 1) He may not have the legs to take on Landa anyways, 2) If it was only him and Kruis, I am fairly certain AC would ease up to let him win, 3) Would Landa do the same, and let Kruis go? I somehow doubt it.

remember contador got mechanical and start 1minutes behind on mortirolo?How can we see mano a mano w/ landa? If he lost it that's common sense, he has spent his energy to chase them. at this point, favors Landa. He is the most likely will win it.
Vino attacks everyone said:Wait for Aru AC, no sportsmanship at all, it was a maechanical!!

The Passo part is also incorrect.
Mortirolo is the name of the mountain. The pass is the Passo di Foppa

I think Contador and Landa are on par in the mountains atm. That's why i think it would have been a great battle between them.
I don't think anyone hates Aru Why would they?Mozart92 said:Poor Aru, everyone hates him.
He's doing a great ride though. He is alone, got a mechanical and yet still there managing to contain the damage.

Don't worry. nobody drops Ryder. Contador getting himself ready to follow Landa's backwheel when he attacksCarols said:I'm really starting to like Amador, but don't drop Ryder.
