Afrank said:Quoted for truth.
On the topic of racing on the final day, didn't Eddy Merckx once get asked something by a reporter about about not winning the overall of the race and he said he was going to attack the final day as soon as they dropped the flag?

Astana still has the full team, while RLT has already lost Cancellara.

afpm90 said:How does having a full team will help Nibali in the Angliru?
If Nibali doesn't suddenly get stronger, no tactic play will help him in a climb as difficult as the Angliru.
ElChingon said:Well as race leader Chris's team will take the lead or his teammates, whereas not Nibali only has to have his teammates follow along and block the wind for him and make sure he doesn't run over any flat causing objects on the road. If you've ever tried to lead a pack for a whole race you know Chris will be with much less teammates come Angrilu time and even though its up to them having a spare teammate alongside is as good as having a spare set of wheels and bike there just for you at a moments notice. Again, a small factor in an MTF but still a factor.
