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

[TommyGun]

Contador seems REALLY pissed off, judging by how he launched himself into the descent!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Contador going for it on the descent.

 

[The Hitch]

What are you doing Contador.

Re:

Trofimov makes his move...

...and it's gone.

After Hejsedal had pulled him for most of the climb and was eating.

 

[Guybrush]

Where's König? behind Aru?

This descent is famously dangerous, everyone wants to be ahead to be safe

Re:

becoming an even bigger legend

 

[Arredondo]

Contador: the best defense is the attack

 

[SeriousSam]

I hope Contador keeps a cool head now.

(and saves energy for the TOUR)

Re:

I reckon it's all about the blue jersey for Kruijswijk

If the point scoring was the same as the TDF, then yes. But no chance now.

 

[etymology]

Re:

Landa almost certain to take the stage but Kruijswuik brilliant today. AC makes history.

contador will take the stage by more than a few seconds.

Re:

just tuned it- WOW

WOW

Contador & Landa dropped the very soul of Aru on Morti- I kind of sensed that, but man - I thought the Angel might offer some resistance...

You missed a lot more than that. You missed Contador put in a brilliant solo chase up the Mortirolo

Re:

A Dutchie first on the Mortirolo. I have now seen everything, and can die a happy man.

Congratulation Dutchies

Re:

One can only assume, probably a minute or two back

Re:

Yup, not sure how much, but he's pretty handy downhill

 

[Carols]

Re:

What a superb stage.

It just doesn't get much better that this!

He has a chance. He has to be first over the Finestre saturday. Many more points there than any other climb

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Re:

yes. probably riding with DCaruso

 

[Bushman]

Aru to follow in Porte's steps and prepare himself for a lieutenant role at TDF?

Probably not but would be fun.

 

[Miburo]

I wonder if contador will try and ride away at the 14% part of the aprica.

 

[Escarabajo]

Re:

LOL!!

Relax man. they are over the top together.

One part of me wants this and the other wants Aprica win!

Re: Re:

Landa to attack at 15% ramp. Otherwise Astana DS should be fired

LOL!!

Meant on Aprica

He means the ramp at the start of the Aprica (the rest of the Aprica after that ramp isn't really a climb)
