lols. Too bad I am not from Australia, and English is my 2nd language.  Aru is the happiest man in the world today.

Valverde, Pozzovivo and Meintjes also in the Dumoulin group.

 It had to be Astana. Unlucky Tom, his day will come soon I think. |

Ouch. Dumoulin. Talk about a bad day. 
Well, I think this was his chance. Unless he will train specifically for this, I don't think he'll ever win a GT. Never expected him to, in all fairness, but this Vuelta was his chance.
Well done, Aru. But Dumoulin was all on his own. 26 team mates indeed...

Pretty good to see that 5 of the top 10 in the GC are 25 and younger with Majka at 26

I'm sure Team Giant-Alpecin was surprised by Tom D's performance in this Vuelta, they've composed a team around Degenkolb to win stages, yet their expectations was surpassed, and the next thing they knew they were defending for the leader's jersey.
Will they create a team for Tom's grand tour bidding next season?

So glad this stage happened. Astana went for it, and cracked Aru with perfect tactics. They could have gone for a mountain train on the last time to steal a few seconds, but they went for it early and it paid off.
For Dumoulin, he was the Voeckler. Finally had enough. But looking back on this, he can be disappointed on how it happened, but can he be disappointed about the result? Top 5 GC and 2 stage wins is well beyond what he could have expected at the start.

What a win by Plaza
And this is how you win a GT Astana, gg!
Purito is and always will be a pussy unfortunatly, such a boring rider. How do people rate him over Valverde?
Great stage and deserved podium by Majka def. Dumo got plenty of chances left for a GT win

I personally think they should be looking to support Barguil, 14th at the Tour with about as much support as Dumoulin had here, looking at how this race played out Barguil could of close to grabbing a podium spot if he was in his Tour form

At least Purito is a clean rider in my opinion.  so I will still rate him 10/10.
