Take my hat off to Aru, proved me very wrong. But boy oh boy he's riding style. It just looked like he was dying since km 1 of that climb. |

Yup, they surely love him already. He can become a true champion with unlimited popularity. Nibali's great, but he is missing something to become a truly popular champion like Cipollini or Pantani in Italy imo.

Not really, you have no idea if Uran is really giving it all and even a 45-1½ min loss would still have had uran in the lead.
Not to mention being in the lead jersey usually gives a extra boost.
Quintana might win but the moral winner is Uran
My God, give it a rest... you've beaten that horse to a pulp.
Ehmm, eh? So are you really telling me not to state my opinion on a forum or did you just fall out of the bed and are still a bit hazy? |

Aru can't pace himself, so I doubt that he will do better than Pozzovivo who on the opposite is one of the best in keeping good pace while riding alone.
I wonder how much time he would have won, if he would have been able to pace himself.  |

Let him win Tour or another Giro (without main mountain stages being cancelled) and it will change for 180 degrees. |

Everybody is tired of this discussion by now, it was talked about for the last days enough. If you want to express your opinion on it, go ahead. But if you want to have a discussion, build yourself a time machine.

At least now Hesjedal has someone he can hang onto. 
To be fair he's had lots of issues. He was about a minute down at the time check. Then his chain broke/dropped and he had to switch off his road bike onto a TT bike for the rest of the climb, which puts him at a big disadvantage.
There seemed to be several bicycles on top of the team car. But you might be right.
If that is the case, then that is what you gamble when you try to gain time by switching bikes and letting a mechanic push you uphill. Imagine if it had happened to one of the top-GC riders. 
The problem is, the others were starting on the TT and switching to a road. Ryder wasn't going to switch bikes at all and then he had problems with his road and had to switch to a TT. The actual bike change wasn't what likely ruined his day it was being forced to switch to an inferior bike.
It makes no sense to bring a TT bike on top of the car, if he wasn't using it for the first part. Surely they would have brought a second road bike if that was the case? |

Say what you want that is certainly no issue but calling Uran the moral winner is a bit silly buddy. Uran fucked up, he was leading and let GC rivals go down the road without giving thought to following.
Also here is more proof that Uran just didn't have it to win this race with Quintana winning this TT

Don't get your panties in a bunch. All I ment was that about half this thread is filled with posts concerning that stage. There is nothing that can come out of arguing further.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Right, so when someone brings it up i should of course not respond on a forum.....
Also where is the admin or moderator sign next to your name? because i dont see any and you seem to think i should give a shit about what you or cactus-jack think about what i can or cannot do. |

You brought it up out of the blue.
Its called respect. Something you've been claiming the riders aren't doing enough of. How about you do it yourself.
