Eh, I can definitely count a couple of Giro 2015 stages where Alberto shone even brighter. Especially the Mortirolo one <3

Eh, ok. I mean thats great.
He was great on Mortirolo, but didn't annihilate anyone. He did for the first time since 2014 yesterday, so while Mortirolo was great, the Dauphine prologue was great, a few of his Paris-Nice stage were great he dominated yesterday against the best riders in the world.. And please name the other stages thats supposedly better than this one, I can't remember any remotely close to this performance - maybe his ITT.
(.. and no way he would have caught Landa on Mortirolo if he wasn't ordered to set a lower pace for Aru, but thats another story for another day.) |

Tomorrow has a great stage design, something big could happen..
are those 3 climbs selective? because i wasn't expecting too much from today stage..maybe few seconds on last climb
They only used 2 of those 3 climbs on the epic Fuente Dé stage. They are not selective in themselves, but its hard if raced properly..
stage 20 has great design..short and hard one..way I like it because riders will go wild there.
Tomorrow stage is for breakaway..Lulu type stage win profile |

I think the 10+% sections on the final climb will be a bit too hard for him.

I cant be fair to such an unfair rider and liar personality. I have always admired him as an attacking rider and expressed it here many times. And yeah, i did not believe in him prior to Vuelta, he surprised me very much, now i am curious if he will pay for yesterday at Angliru. (and if you think i have really expected 21st in GC from him, you dont know me much i guess...but i have never imagined top5 for him either, rather very late top10 with signature stage win from mad attack and yo-yo stage placements).
I still believe that podium will be Froome-Nibali-Zakarin like i mentioned week ago, lets see what happens. Great Vuelta so far, i am enjoying the race very much, cant believe how anybody can call it boring almost after every stage.

More attacks by Bertie and MAl in one week than of anybody else in the entire Giro and Tour combined

this race turned out as fun..when Froome did had first signs that he might crack.
..and you are lying one also. I dont forget your satisfaction dance when Contador dropped out of top 20. (it was like ..well top 15 was to much for predict that one) |
