Tour de France 2017 Stage 14 : Blagnac > Rodez 181.5 km

[DNP-Old]

Vino better send some letters to Aru's teammates, isolated in a stage like this... But in the meantime, Aru is seriously dumb as well to not just follow Froome's wheel.

What did BMC do?

Send Caruso in late breakaway only to let him not work. Caruso could've won there too.

Re: Re:

F***face back in yellow
Aru the most pathetic position known to man going into that climb
Only Landa and Contador can save this now

Re: Re:

Matthews oozes arrogance...

I don't know why I dislike this guy so much, but I do.

A guy who self titles "Bling", arrogance?
What a shock

Ya, maybe it's the stupid nickname....

How did I know you'd be here with the usual salt? Aru screwed up but there's still many stages to go..

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Pretty dominant win by Matthews in the end.

Re:

That result I don't think was a result of Aru's legs, it really was just the worlds worst positioning. I wonder if something happened also that we didn't see.

He didn't look good, for what it's worth.

He's a dbag who calls himself "bling". That pretty much makes the case for me.

Well, I remember a common dislike of Ricco even before he started winning was that he had given himself a nickname which people believed shows arrogance. Not even going into what the nickname is.

Uran another step closer to the podium!

Actually yea I'm not entirely sure now. Other people are saying he was struggling earlier, I only spotted him at 2km to go caught off in a little split so that's why I thought it was position. I'm not sure.

Just saying, Matthews giving himself a nickname and insisting on it may be rubbing people the same way as it did when Ricco did it.

I didn't notice Aru struggling during this stage until the last 2k's, when he was nowhere to be found around the front with the other contenders.

Back to sky strangling the race and Landa to domestique duties

 

[JosephK]

Aru looks like a guy who will not finish on the podium. Whether it's legs or bad strategy, you can't donate 25 seconds to Chris Froome on a stage like today's.

Got you, thanks. Strange to have that much faith in GVA given he's been fairly quiet so far.

The nickname was invented by someone else...

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Aru was already isolated far from the finish. He had to do everything alone. So he had no chance here.
