I think you're confusing picking the bloke who's going to score most points with moral rectitudeHe's in your fantasy team: you do believe in him!
I do.

I understand but perhaps naiavely I just think he's probably the most complete rider of his generation. There's noone better tactically.
i really enjoyed today how he put one over on astana, like feck you, attack me when I have a puncture and I will return the compliment in spades.
hesjedal is a loon. I love his attitude & racing for a pretty low overall gc position. Reckon he will go long er tomorrow.

Observation. I watched the mortirolo stage highlights for the first time today. I personally didn't see too much wrong with landa. Bertie was fecked after pulling back a minute from his puncture. kruijswik was mullered from doing the pacemaking, landa just waited fir his moment. Lets not forget contador is streets agead of anyone. landa is the best of a fairly average bunch but still 5 mins down on contador.
Perhaps but he's looked strong from day one and his Palmares don't reflect 2nd in a GT, plus he hardly looks like he's trying which I know is not conclusive but, like you say, not a super strong field, he is still young, has showed promise in the past but, being out of contract and putting in a performance like this rings alarm bells, especially as he's riding for Astana. I'd like to see how he goes over the next two stages.

So what's landas palmares? Surely more than 7th or whatever it was at one of the build up races this year?
Is he a bit froome like for instance? Stage win in the vuelta showed he had massive ootential but before that not much really? Trying to be glass half full here.

The out of contract one Is the one that grates, nothing to lose? I hate this doping talk
lt's all speculative but if you look at his Giro results for last year, he's made a stellar leap

A similar trajectory as Chris Horner and no where near as old - his future is bright

Well, he has had some good stage wins, notably on stage 4 mountain finish in giro trentino last year.
well, im gonna give him the benefit if the doubt.
now, what astana should have done is hide him until the vuelta. Could have won that, would then get interesting,

...is stop doping
I've been equally, if not more, surprised at the ageing Tiralongo's form. He's either out there winning stages or leading the train out halfway up a mountain.
Lest we forget, Kreuziger is due up before the beak sometime soon. His form in this race has been noticeably more believable in this race, than the last time he almost outrode Bertie (can't recall which G it was). Getting caught outright or playing about with your BP, just before a visit to CAS would be awfully bad form.
