105 th Giro di Lombardia. La classica delle foglie morte.

[Arnout]

Eurosport guys were just talking about how inconsistent he is...he's such an overrated rider....

That's why he's in the top 10 of the CQ ranking since 2006.

 

[Moondance]

Disorganization in descent leads to significant time gains for Neebs. Good for him, he'll need every second.

Who is playing ethnic tunes?

Haha, thats what I thought too. Who the hell is playing the Panflute?

as the biggest nibali fanboy on this forum(for a long time) i couldn't let any1 creat an appretiation thread before me

Well I am rooting for my BMC boys although I'd love to see Nibbles win as well.

BMC working for Gilbert already by the looks of things. A bit premature but never mind.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

BMC don't even want a BMC rider to win.

LOL. Funny right there.

 

[Eshnar]

How much time do we think nibali can put in on the decent

not that much. Easy descent.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Harmon wondering who Sky are working for, whilst the camera bike zooms in on Uran...

 

[Tank Engine]

Nearly 2 minutes. Vince might pull it off. Has anyone since Mottet done anything similar?

Edit: gap coming down now

 

[Moondance]

Guys in the peloton having an afternoon snack and making eyes at each other. Things looking more and more positive for Neebs.

If he can start the flat with 2 minutes or so I'd give him a better than 50% chance of surviving.

EDIT: As I write the gap has started coming down rather than grow

 

[Arnout]

If the likes of Gilbert and Anton go on the last climb they can take back 30 seconds, when he's over the climb alone Nibali will win. They will have to pull back at least a minute in 25 km and I don't see it happening.

 

[Ferminal]

Where are the Shack today?

 

[Descender]

He's getting caught isn't he. Meh.

 

[Simply The Best]

Bloody BMC they don't even have a current rider who can win. Why are they chasing so hard!

 

[zapata]

I don't think I've ever used the very overused word "epic" about a bike race, but if Nibali stays away, I might consider it.

 

[Havetts]

Preparing for wintersleep, they are not the youngest fella's anymore

 

[Shark attack]

Go shark go!!!

 

[Parrulo]

ya he should sit up and rest. he seems to be the strongest guy today. so just wait for the group nibs

a peloton of 30+ vs 1 guy on the flat, and you can't see 1 minute in 25km.



Well, it's a new perspective, I'll give you that.

Their future best friend Phil asked them nicely I guess

Because they are a team that doesn't sit at the back and do nothing like Rabobank atm. They try and BMC and I believe that GVA and Santa can do the job.

There is seems a steeper short descend coming up

 

[Havetts]

Only Barredo & Kruijswijk for Rabo, if I saw correctly.
