Missed the whole stage. So these 3 just dropped everyone else?

Contador was 50' down at the start of the climb due to splits, Landa dropped everyone but meanwhile Contador solo'd up the mountain with a little help from Anton, caught the group and attacked Aru

No. Contador had a puncture in the valley before Mortirolo. Astana and Katusha attacked. Contador was a minute behind at the start of the climb and alone. He soloed his way to Aru, Landa and Trofimov and attacked them. Dropped Aru. Landa followed him and the two caught up with Kruijswijk.

No.

Contador had a flat and had to catch up to the Astana boys and then to the KRUIJSWIJK. He towed Landa in the process.

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

Kruijswijk actually was the most promising Dutch talent climbing wise back in 2011! Maybe he's finally found back his spirit. He's very aggressive again! Clearly a huge difference to the shyness of Gesink and Mollema!
I remember the stage he won in Tour de Suisse 2011. This Giro has marked his rebirth as a GC rider, crowning it with a top 10 in GC.

If Landa sits on, Astana is basically going to end up with two riders over 4 minutes back.

He can't do much anymore,they let him go too late.

Aru is going to lose so much time alone on the flat and Aprica (which is almost flat).

After this, Landa is going to go nuclear on Saturday
