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?

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. :p

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..

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

Well...

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
