Nibali is too old or i have to say as too much kilometers in his legs , i think Tomorrow nairo is going to attack but i expect Pinot to resist and not lose to much time , as maybe for TJ VAN but for him i 'm no so confident
Your first post dirk nowitzki, and I already like you :) . Welcome to the CN forums.

As Tibopino's #1 fanboy, I hope that you are right for the Pinot-Quintana 1-2 finish (yes, I changed the order ;) ). I have big expectations for tomorrow: after La Ruta, I can't help but being greedy.

I'll be interested in Nibali's performance: so far, he hasn't shown anything. Same for Aru. Both need some morale boost to get their season on track.

If the climbers race conservative, just like at the '15 Vuelta, Dumoulin will hang on. And that's dangerous.

I'd be happy if Nibs will come under 20 secs to the winner. Lately his build-up for his main goals exclude strong performances earlier. I don't think Quintana has the Valenciana form but that probably will not prevent him to drop everybody. Pinot has a good chance to overall if he hangs on better than everybody else.

On paper, Quintana is the main favourite, but that does not guarantee anything. I also expect Aru, Pinot and Yates to be very strong. Unless it is very tactical, Dumoulin should lose a bit of time, but not too much. Nibali is a bit of a wild card.

Quintana versus Pinot on paper. But this might as well be just the kind of mountain where Dumoulin tends to surprise everybody.

It's not so bad if you have a sense of humor.

That statement needs some explanation.

E.g., I think it's hilarious whenever he starts talking about Reichenbach. I know enough about cycling that I'm not too bothered by some his absurd statements, and I like his small talk.

I think that Dumoulin will lose a lot of time today. But I might be wrong.
