Giro d'Italia 2015 *spoilers*

[HF2300]

Konig dropped. Shame. Igor Anton pacing Contador. He needs to watch that non-regulation help

 

[tug benson]

Aye Aru doesn't look good here

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Thing is that Contador is a great descender and even if he comes over the top a minute or two behind, he will get a lot of that back on the descent. And the final climb is not they kind of slope that will cause any difficulties. In any case, he doesn't look like he's going to lose very much, if anything - in fact he's coming back on Aru & Co.

Landa again looks the stronger of Astana

Nearly picked him in the punditry but I couldn't cope with the idea of him doing it again.

 

[HF2300]

That lead group now just 3 at 27 secs, so Bertie's doing it.

 

[tug benson]

Take a seat bertie

 

[Crackle]

The Landa-borg is going well.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Landa is too strong to be believable, I have to say. He looks like he's sauntering.

 

[HF2300]

Thing is that Contador is a great descender.

Yes, I remember him descending in the TdF last year...

 

[tug benson]

Aru will get dropped

 

[smutchin]

Thing is that Contador is a great descender

I was wondering about that. Do we know what Aru and Landa are like on the descents?

 

[tug benson]

Unleash the Landa

 

[HF2300]

Landa is too strong to be believable, I have to say. He looks like he's sauntering.

But then Kruiswijk doesn't look any worse. Aru realy struggling now

But then Kruiswijk doesn't look any worse. Aru realy struggling now

The difference is that Landa has looked this good every day. Kruijswijk has had good and bad days.

 

[HF2300]

Contador looks as though he's really working now
