The bit that's on after the race on Eurosport with Juan Antonia Flecha, some english bloke and (a special appearance today) Greg Lemond, Flecha & Lemond thought that the attach by Aru was unexpected by Landa. I dunno...
Good to see Uran have a go and back to some kind of form. I hope he does the TdF.

They're said to be considering putting Aru up for the Vuelta.

Probably Aru for the Vuelta. If Landa's out of contract and talking to other teams, they won't want World Tour points going to another team.
Rumours that he's talking to Sky, surely they wouldn't take a risk on a rider from Astana???

Why not? You can't run a business based on unsubstantiated fact, rumours and supposition. So long as they do all the due diligence they can (which I believe they do) pre purchase then it's fine.
If what you are suggesting was true then the market would correct the situation. What I mean by that is that no-one (clean teams) would risk purchasing a rider from Astana, the riders marketability would drop substantially, coupled with the fact Astana would then struggle to attract riders, they would go into obscurity. Hmmmm, now there's an idea...
I thought team leader for the Vuelta would be payback for letting Aru have 2nd here. If he's leaving Astana though....
Therein lies the rub, though.
It was common knowledge, albeit unsubstantiated, that Michael Barry, Geert Leinders, Sean Yates were tainted but got through the interview with Dr Steve Peters.
JTL was the subject of much peloton gossip.
Sky need to do more than take it at face value if they insist on being a zero-tolerance team, IMO

He was 2nd in the Mountains competition at last years Giro when riding for Sky so has form as a decent climber
