I think with Landa off the front it meant an easier ride for Aru as he didn't need to chase, and if he cracked well, Landa's still off the front and Contador's been working harder allowing Aru to jump away. Astana may have thought they weren't going to crack Contador and wanted to protect their podium positions and go for the stage wins, with the fact that he did crack surprising them/forcing them topull Landa back to help Aru take the win?
Was funny watching Uran's hands in the air hissy fit on the descent saying he wasn't going to help him regardless... Cracking stage all in, even if it feels like it's gone a bit pro-wrestling at points.
