Nibali is the overall winner according to CQranking. Provisionally, though.

Indeed.

[Zoncolan]

Nibs was 15 secs behind Velits at the start of the stage.
He gets 4 bonus secs more than Velits, right? That means he needed a gap of 11.
Wonder how Slagter and Sagan faired?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Nibali attacked 5k from the top with Velits. Left him and rode to top alone. #tourofoman

vuelta espana 2010 all over again

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

5km from the top = basically the beginning of the climb. Right?

 

[Shark attack]

yes, the climb start at -6km...

Makes the work he did yesterday, dropping time as a result, very odd.

Basically seems like he came for the MTF but doesn't care about the GC - not entirely comfortable with that.

He'll probably take the GC anyway. BTW he attacked yesterday in the final, didn't look like not caring about GC.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nibali follows up Gesink... cue bad year and plenty of falls

All very odd since the reason he lost 15 seconds yesterday was because he became Sagan's rabbit; sent up the road in the final km, to draw out Griepel's gang, then die the death.
Bit of a fail, that.
