Nibali's form in the 2011 Giro is very different to Nibali's form in the 2014 Tour. He has improved.TANK91 said:If he don't it is because he as chose not too target it as a main goal. Like i said in the predicitons i don't think he can win the TDF next year if he does the Giro. If he did just the TDF as main goal for 2-3 years he as a very good chance but he is now interested in the Giro again as he probably wants multiple GT's in the Giro he also feels robbed i bet after 2011. Their is one man who can beat him in good shape and that is Froome when both in form imo they are close.
You think Nibali is the man nowadays, Nibali is a ducker that is all. "I will go for the double" he said then it is "oh but the team like Aru", im sure a TDF winner picks what he does Nibali has final say on that salary. Nibali know's Contador has is number, you should watch the Giro 2011 Contador toyed with him like a little baby. Nibali had to ride tempo as Contador blew them all up. Nibali was doing the Giro untill Contador announced he would ride no way he thought the TDF would work out this lucky again.

Too much before Giro. I think he'll only do two or one of those three races.LaFlorecita said:Tirreno, Catalunya, Pais Vasco, Giro, Tour I'm 99% sure

Avatar bet? (from the end of Paìs Vasco until the Giro begins)LaFlorecita said:Nah 20 race days
Two or oneyeah right.
Pricey_sky said:I think Froome will go for the usual: Oman, Tirreno, Romandie, Dauphine, Tour. Possibly the new Yorkshire race and LBL too.

My prediction for Contador: he will not ride or finish the Giro. There will be an excuse since it's too much at stake in the Tour.nhowson said:My main prediction is for Contador to not win TdF and then there will be a ****storm about what would have happened if he did not do the Giro.

Yes, sure why not?Jspear said:Want to do an avatar bet? I bet he will ride the Giro and finish and win.
cineteq said:Yes, sure why not?
Jspear said:alrighty...loser has an avatar of the winners choosing till the Tour. Sound good?
You are saying AC will neither start the Giro or finish it.
I'm saying he will start, finish, and win it.
I'll save the conversation.
Red Rick said:The usual is being on the starting list of LBL and then dropping out
sacrifice&hardwork said:I read he might do Andalucia, Tirreno and Catalunya with some high altitude training after
Backing away from being 99% sure?LaFlorecita said:Hmmmm
I'd rather see him ride Pais Vasco tbh
He needs to defend his titles
