Stage 16: Pinzolo – Aprica 177 kms:Where legends are made

[Carols]

I'm really starting to like Amador, but don't drop Ryder.

Re:

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.

Why would Landa have to let Crush go? Because he helped distance his team leader?

Re: Re:

Landa just rode a great race. Remember he had to wait for Aru for a long time on Mortirolo. I would have love to see Contador and Landa mano o mano on the Mortirolo.

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.

contador spends lots of energy catching landa/aru...now landa wheelsucking in *hopes* of beating contador for stage win.

Amador smells blood, he's going to overtake Aru on GC

 

[seldon71]

Landa is SO loyal. He won't attack unless he is virtual 2nd place... ...as it would be attacking your captain.

Contador is smart too. Has stopped pushing - better not to put too much distance to Aru.

Re:

Wait for Aru AC, no sportsmanship at all, it was a maechanical!!

I hope this is sarcasm?

Sean Kelly - "Passo del Motorola"

I remember he was calling it that 5 years ago too.

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

Lol. Kruis shaking his head after looking at Landa.

Re: Re:

Festana leadership changes today.

Ya but.... Aru is still an Italian, so there's that...

Astana isn't Italian though, there's a strong tinge of Italy to it, but in the end it's Vino and Mr. Nazarbayev who truly control the team.

Bad tv production, we don't know where all the other GT riders are at the moment

I think he meant if they started on equal terms, say in the same position. Otherwise, I agree, it wouldn't be a fair battle

now astana is under pressure to win the stage! If they can't win it after they have ahead start on the mortirolo.. o my..

 

[Hugo Koblet]

God I'm glad Astana attacked when AC had that mechanical!

 

[Miburo]

Alright contador gonna sit in the wheel now, and try and get the stage.

Fair, he rode enough.

hahahaha - bertie got tired of pulling landa!

 

[Velolover2]

Contador needs to conserve all the energy he can.

 

[Mozart92]

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.

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.

You will see it at Finestre

Definitely made the stage awesome.

I would have done it too btw but it's pretty hilarious when it fails xD

Don't worry. nobody drops Ryder. Contador getting himself ready to follow Landa's backwheel when he attacks

Re:
