Seriously? Aru attacked a lot in both the Giro and the Vuelta last year and Landa has never ever raced a mountain stage of a gt as a leader and you already complain about him.phanatic said:I just saw the results of the ITT and would like to congratulate Mikel Landa on his upcoming Giro victory. One thing's for sure: with Aru winning the Vuelta and Landa the Giro, it shows (yet again) just what sort of cyclist and competitor we had in Alberto Contador.

Why not, the rest of the course suits him down to the ground, it would take one of Nibali's monster descents to win because he'd be lucky if he can stay with Landa on the mountains, he's got to limit his loses I don't think he's as capable of exploding in the mountains as Bala and LandaLaplaz said:Can't see Landa winning this Giro...
Couldn't agree with you more.jens_attacks said:i still believe that nibali will somehow win it but yes landa is the favourite now.

I simply think that Nibali will find a way to beat Landa in this remaining two weeksdacooley said:can't see or don't want to see?Laplaz said:Can't see Landa winning this Giro...![]()

Wait are you saying Valverde is a better climber than Nibali in the high mountains than Nibali? For real? Nibali in 2013/2014 form is one of the best climbers in the world, i.e he will lose barely any time to 'the big three' if any.Hgriffiths2606 said:Why not, the rest of the course suits him down to the ground, it would take one of Nibali's monster descents to win because he'd be lucky if he can stay with Landa on the mountains, he's got to limit his loses I don't think he's as capable of exploding in the mountains as Bala and LandaLaplaz said:Can't see Landa winning this Giro...

The moment when you realize that Landa is not going to win this Giro, will be my great pleasure. Because of posters like this one I sometimes question my love for Alberto. It doesn't happens often though...

Hgriffiths2606 said:I think that we can probably Rule out Zakarin, Majka, Chaves and Uran after today regardless of who we think will win
Was anybody actually thinking Uran or Chaves could win the Giro? both were podium chances at best and well the same could be said about Majka and ZakarinWinkin' boy said:Hgriffiths2606 said:I think that we can probably Rule out Zakarin, Majka, Chaves and Uran after today regardless of who we think will win
Uran & Chavez definitely out. Majka and Zaka still have about 5% of winning.
