2016 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Pinerolo - Risoul (162 km MTF)

Re: Re:

nothing gonna be epic. Kruijswijk is done, he'll lose 15 minutes tomorrow so

Even then, there's still chavez vs nibali. And nibali won't wait for the last climb

who cares about them, they werent even the strongest

Typically Nibali though. Always his main competitors fall out during a GT. It's like he is doing some voodoo ****

exactly, this is why I can't stand seeing Nibali winning.

And now he is crying ffs.

Pray to god that Chaves can hold on to his lead. But Nibali will probably just go nuclear again and drop everyone.

I don't understand what Nibali did wrong. He got over the Agnello first (rode in the front few last kilometers) and started to push on the descent and if Kruijswijk wasn't able to keep up then it isn't Nibali's foult. Also Nibali was over a minute behind Valverde so he was riding against him as well.

He did nothing wrong but how often is Nibali on the lucky side of these situations? I'm tired of it and I'm tired of Nibali complaining in the media, "maybe I'll leave the race" bla bla bla and then doing this.

It's bullsh*t

Tomorrow's going to be the hardest stage of my life as an armchair cyclist.

Nibali being interviewed on RAI - still in tears -- man he hasn't gotten it all out yet - Great tribute to the passing rider on his tutelage

Re:

Usually the worst day after a crash is the second day, if nothing's broken SK might strike back tomorrow. Chavez won't be able to hold on based on today.

SK is only 21" behind Nibali.

The same thing was said about Nibali a few days ago. I hope SK is not too injured so it's a good battle on the stage.

Re:

How can anyone be happy with this win?

I'm happy, as it turns out I'm a Nibs fan too.

Today was a great day for cycling!

Well, whatever Nibbles did the last couple days really has transformed him. From almost abandoning to now potentially winning another GT in dramatic fashion.

Ods Nibali to win the Giro 11/10.

Huh

Don't bother with this guy. He just can't handle Nibali's awesomeness. Tommorow will be absolutely epic

 

[Pricey_sky]

Amazing stage, hope Zakarin is ok.

If Chavez wins this Giro by a handful of seconds he owes Nieve a big bottle of champagne!

I don't want to be a nationalist c*nt, but I am : all the drama took place in France.

 

[webvan]

At least Valvpity is off the podium like on the 2014 TDF...

Re:

Great stage. It had drama and action. Too bad about Kruijswijk

He would have won this Giro with ease. Now Nibali has a chance!! What a crazy Giro!!!

I hope Steven can hold on to 3rd. Bala is just too limited in the high mountains.

Yes shame about the crashes but that's cycling. Still a very good stage and a great comeback by Nibali.

 

[Poursuivant]

It would be interesting if Froome had a transformation like this in TDF, the internet itself would break.

Nibali will drop Chaves tomorrow, kruijswijk won't even make the podium, Valverde like a vulture smelling blood for his precious podium.

Ods Nibali to win the Giro 11/10.

So about 52%?

Re:

Chaves looked bad at the end of the climb today, Kruijswijk had to go very deep and is injured, Valverde will get mugged by the altitude again tomorrow.....

Nibi for the win?!

Maybe Nibs also totally emptied himself today; the top four crack tomorrow, and Majka wins the Giro.

After today, anything is possible

Re: 2016 Giro d'Italia, Stage 19: Pinerolo - Risoul (162 km

Please let the same three riders be the same at the finish on the podium, any order you like but please the same three! Each of these three have been superb for different reasons, yes I feel SK deserves the win but I couldn't be unhappy with Chaves or the brave fight back by Nibali.

What a GT, Giro delivers again!

 

[Flat Out]

Nibali NEVER EVER stated he was to leave Giro. Astana said that, with Nibali answering he was here to get to Turin for respect of tifosi. other riders and himself.
But i guess reality is again too harsh for you cycling haters

As far as I understood his team wanted to take him out but Nibali didn't want to leave.

 

[Carols]

Totally Epic...I've watched this sport for over 50 years....today was Epic . They all laid it down for our enjoyment.

Bring it home now Nibs....he's in tears waiting to get on the podium!

Broken collarbone it seems. If that is the worst of it he was very lucky.

Nibali is a campionissimo bla bla bla, he is so lucky damn!!!
