Cav' Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Contador did very well seeing as he was 59" back at one stage, what a ride
Bankie99 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Awesome day of viewing yet again. What a wonderful Giro so far.
tombeej Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Cav, I wasn't talking about Landa. I was talking about the Dutchie - Kruijswijk. Landa is from Spain.
HappyMartin Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 The net result is Contador now has 4 min on the 2nd placed man. Unless something odd happens I don't see anyone taking that time away from him. Lands now has the pressure that Aru has had the last weeks.
Pure Savage Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Wonder is they will enforce the rules regarding feeding within the last 20km, Laanda took on both a gel and bideon. Seeing as rules are rules and everyone should know them. 2 min penalty seem to be the order of the day at the Giro.
jimmycool Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Sheesh. What a cracker of a stage. I just can't seem to shake that nagging feeling though that something doesn't add up whenever the camera is on Landa.The way he is riding - somehow it seems superhuman. Ever other rider shows quite clearly on their face that they have just ridden up 5 mountains but Landa looks like he just went for a cruise along the promenade.

As if it's all wrapped up. (Not that it was ever in doubt)
tombeej Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Race rules state that a rider may not take food or drinks in the final 10km of a mountaintop finish (20km for flat stages). Landa took his at about 10.2 km to go - just inside the time limit.

Winstonian1984 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Did he have a mechanical?How did Astana break from the magnolia rosa?He punctured, they attacked saying katusha were going full gas.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 He punctured, they attacked saying katusha were going full gas. Did they attack on the news that the maglia rosa punctured?
