Why? Of there 6 riders who finished in the top 25, only Landa had failed to do this before. In fact most of them were repeating their GC position from their previous GT.
People forget that the middle week of the Giro was completely lacking in any GC action, which gave them plenty of time to recover from their first week efforts.
And how come convicted doper Contador gets a pass here? Despite Astana's supposed superiority, he wiped the floor with them.

I feel like Astana sitting at the front for 2 hours at 50kmh ave when there's a HC climb and 1st cat climb to come ahead in the stage was pretty nuts. And for them to still have Aru, Landa and couple of there other riders (Tiralongo, Rosa) in the top 30 as well should surely raise eyebrows.
