I wonder...Nibali was whining pretty hard and said it was disrespectful when Contador rode circles around him and all competitors during the Giro '11. Now he's doing the same :rolleyes:

I have bets on Horner and Nieve so Im in survival mode cuz Nibali will smoke them both:eek:

Yes, Valverde going on the descent took a minute out of Nieve's lead and probably cost him the win with Astana then pacing on the flat.

Whats the record up the Hautacam?

Riis 34:40. If Nibali comes within 2 minutes it'll be an insane performance for the ages and as a good as the dominant Armstrong of 2000

I wasn't commentating on Saxo, simply saying Nibali is out for the maximum wins he can. I don't really love it though.

To attack 9kms+ out shows tremendous confidence especially with one of the flatter parts just ahead. Nibbles has looked like he's on a holiday spin ever since Contador went down.
