Re:

The spirit of Aru must be admired, he won't give up

This, actually! Aru is not shy to expose himself in any possible way, only for giving it a hopeless try! #oldschool

Kruijswijk the new Hennie Kuiper!? (Again)

 

[GuyIncognito]

"Only" 4 more kms to the top

 

[l.Harm]

I believe Kruijswijk had some disease which is why he underperformed for years after his nice Giro + Suisse stage win.

 

[Highlander]

Does anyone know what the gap is? I don't trust the graphics anymore after they showed that Contador was nearly a minute behind just before he caught Aru.

 

[sunnyIce]

Compare that with Kreuzigers effort to pull AC even tho he was super tiring.

 

[indianfanboy]

Contador suddenly looking refreshed

 

[SeriousSam]

The damage is probably done already for Contador. Might as well try and win the stage.

Re:

Now this begs the question - does Contador have enough in the tank to at least keep within a minute of Landa when he (Landa) inevitably goes?

I guess we will find out....hopefully he has some recovery before Landa goes.

Landa is like

 

[Happy dude]

Why is he working for contador

 

[rm7]

Kruiswijk the ultimave helper for Contador right now!

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Hesjedal is truly flying, almost caught Trofimov and could close in on the main group

 

[rainman]

Re:

So what people are saying about Ryder Hesjedal?

Remember last year people talking tras about Quintana because he could not drop the big guy!!!!

Team orders, someone had to stay with AC, I'm glad this blew up in Vino's face
sorry escarbo tagged the wrong post.

Re: Stage 16: Pinzolo – Aprica 177 kms:Where legends are mad

why is kruiswijk doing all the work

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Is the the new Dedi the Devil?

Re: Stage 16: Pinzolo – Aprica 177 kms:Where legends are mad

Landa is like

I can't wait till Kudus does something to merit this image

 

[Flamin]

Hesjedal-Trofimov can still return on the descent.

 

[damian13ster]

Seems like the front group is going fairly slow. Hesjedal will catch them

Spaniards on podium. They have a lot to discuss in Astana tonight.

Propably around 45 seconds.

 

[sultanofhyd]

Re:

Because he knows Contador is not a *** and won't attack him/sprint for the stage win if he manages to stay with him.

 

[etymology]

Re:

katusha.. is totaly f*up everyone... He even attacked Aru... Payback Aru... for speeding up when AC puncture.. Richie... take notice on AC

no qualms with katusha's attack after albeto's flat on descent - that is racing. biggest thing is they underestimated contador and ultimately screwed themselves.

still 38k to go, so who knows what else can happen. one thing is for sure:

contador is legend.

He only performs well when Contador is at the Giro!
Otherwise he doesn't care!
