My Hunch is that its nibbles job to wear out Gilbert, so Basso can counter

I don't think Gonzalez is any good. I think I caught a glimpse of him on the previous hill, in the back. Hernandez was in the front.

Would also explain why he was so far back in the descent.

But yeah the whole team of Euskaltel is still recovering from Beijing.

To confirm: Sanchez is still in the big group. At least, it looks like his style.

Gilbert group caught .

Is Ponzi still there? Another card they could play.

Race is probably being decided in the descent, then Basso shouldve worn Gilbert out, not Nibs imho.

TSF, basso can't counter on the final climb as it is too explosive.
BMC riding very well.

 

[hatcher]

Anyone not rooting for Nibali at this point?

 

[The Hitch]

he sucks at everything never attacks and is the most boring cyclist ever. . . a pure wheelsucker.

He cant descend either

 

[zapata]

Go on! Kill the pigeons!

Cummings with a nice turn but suffering now. edit wasn't him pulling.

 

[Parrulo]

I've been thinking that. But Basso isn't an explosive type so I just can't see him winning.

How cool would it be to have a little house on that climb.

unfortunately he isn't even riding today

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Mission impossible for lo squalo dello stretto . . .

 

[hrotha]

What if he beats Phil?

If Gilbert beats Contador, or Contador beats Gilbert, this is what happens to Pistolero:

I see, nice of Bet365 to be offering live odds on him

Who's not?

 

[Simply The Best]

However the rest of this race goes respect for nibbles has gone to another level

 

[Arnout]

From my experience last year, Nibali is by far and away the Italian's favorite rider. When he fell in the descent last year people weren't believing in a win anymore, even though Scarponi was still there.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Nibbles has added another :22 to his lead in the last few minutes.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Cummings with a nice turn but suffering now. edit wasn't him pulling.

cummings wasn't pulling, he sucks the whole climb, should work in valley for uran. I;m laighing hard now at his interview where he said he wanted to do well today and show himself

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

So Nibali will be caught. Hopefully Gilbert has been sapped by his pointless excursions.

 

[Moondance]

Always love seeing the tolling bells.

1'20. 45 kms. 20 flat and a terribly steep climb of around 5kms. I don't think he can do it, but I'd love it if he could. Go Vincenzo!

I ****ing love you Vincenzo Nibali.
