Re:
Not entirely likely, but what if Landa had gone and Kruijswijk went with him and Contador was alone chasing both Landa and Kruijswijk.
You can do what ifs forever.

Contador is the strongest. The work he did today to get back to the front was insane. Landa only won because he followed wheels and didn't take any turns. Contador will smoke him if they have a one on one battle up a climb.
Re: Re:
Well, I agree it's not a tea party, but it isn't exactly classy either. From what I've read Contador rode down a 1min deficit up Mortirolo. Gees. Hope he's not too knackered (but what a ride!)

Just got back home. From what I could actually watch:
- Best stage evah (well, not really, but very good)
- Martinelli is an idiot (no news)
- Landa stronger than AC? Duh. He only had to pull 5 kms on the Mortirolo, And at Aru's pace. And then wheelsucked all the way. We have no clue who was the strongest today. but frankly, WHO THE HELL CARES
- over 1200 posts and only because the forum bonked before the Mortirolo. We could have reached Gardeccia levels
- I thought Aru was gonna lose 5 minutes.

Re: Re:
With these things I think it also depends on where and how it happens…from what I've read it was not at a place where the momentum of things meant that to show some respect would have changed things significantly.
It's not nice to wish people ill, but I always hope for a bit of karma to pay back double on these matters.

Re: Re:
though classy moves are nice, i do not believe they should be an expected thing in professional competitions. i am not against classy moves, or waiting for a race leader the leader after a mechanical or crash or whatever. what i am is a firm believer in "life isn't fair, nor was it intended to be."

Re:
let's not confuse "mechanical" with "bad shift."
i will not be offended should you use your moderator powers to delete this post in the interest of shutting the floodgates before they are fully opened.

Re: Re:
That's just an obvious fact everyone agrees with. Where there seems to be disagreement about is on whether it was unfair and whether such unfairness is desirable or not, and in a roundabout way, you seem to coming down on the side that it is.

Missed most of the action unfortunately, but I can see this stage will add to the overall quality of this Giro which is already on a very high level.
Wanted Steven to win the stage, but that was clearly not possible.
A remarkable jersey defense by Contador. Racing like in the good old days.
Chapeau.
