Holy ****, nibali is ridiculously good!!!

I thought Contador can take easily 2 min back on nibali, but seeing how well he rides....

Especially for a guy who's never raced on cobbles before

 

[Afrank]

Contador is chase 3, correct?

Holy ****, nibali is ridiculously good!!!

I thought Contador can take easily 2 min back on nibali, but seeing how well he rides....

Long way to Paris though.

Only Sagan and Cance working? F*ck those wheelsuckers

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Other than Froome, Contador is the big loser today.

Disagree completely. His main rival DNF. Think he will be happy enough.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why only Contador? The way I see it, there is 1 winner and everyone else lost big.

I think that's probably true.

 

[damian13ster]

Damn it, I am missing on this :/ Luckily I have it recorded but its not the same. OPQS boys (Kwiatkowski) back with Nibali or whats going on?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boom attacks

 

[MartinGT]

I got 75/1 for Boom this morning!

 

[ILovecycling]

Only Sagan and Cance working? F*ck those wheelsuckers

Yes
But they cant reel Nibali and Boom,Fuglsang

 

[Publicus]

You mean nibali is the big winner.

Everyone else that lost is with Contador.

Assuming Contador's group can close down Talansky's group, I agree with you. Great ride from NIbali.

 

[King Boonen]

Boom! .

 

[Afrank]

Final sector, make that gap 4 minutes Lo Squalo!

 

[go crazy]

Right this moment, betfair has Contator and Nibbles joint favourites for Paris at 2.54 (around 6/4).

Third favourite? Richie Porte @ 12.0.

ಠ_ಠ

Porte...if does even anything in this race, there can be no doubt about Sky being dubious.

 

[happytramp]

Very nervous. How long is this section?

 

[sjonnie]

Go booom!!!

 

[ILovecycling]

Was watching yesterday as they talked about today's stage. They always seem to forget what a good bike handler Nibali is. Unless my memory is faulty, he was always that. This is a small surprise but not a huge one.

 

[senatorrick]

Got a love the Italian fearless brave puts all the eggs in the basket

 

[Carols]

Nibali is a Monster!!! He may have the gap he needs to Win the TdF! Holy Smokes what a race this is going to be

 

[Ramira]

Nibali and Fuglsang are on incredible form.

Though I guess working with Van Petegem to work on your cobble riding can't have hurt, I seem to remember that guy was quite decent in Flanders and P-R.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Nibali smashing those cobbles!

Go on son !!!!

 

[hfer07]

Imagine if for some reason Nibali wins the stage?
