bambino said:Strange... I saw most of the AC fanboys saying at least 20 sec for Berto over Nibali today before the race. I think the reality was 3? You should actually be disappointed, right and not make huge statement over sprint win? Why would Berto hold back when there was a chance to drop the rest even way more? I thought I saw him asking Nibs to make a stab 500 m to go and help to get more, but Nibali would not even bother. The race is on - 3 seconds in sprint (which Nibali doesn't master anyway) means nothing.

“In the first week of the race, Matteo, Michael and Daniele have done a very good job on the flat stretches and today, Sergio, Rafal, Nicolas and Michael demonstrated that they are ready for the mountains. Alberto didn’t go 100% but tested his rivals and Nibali who seems like the strongest. We gained a few seconds on Nibali, a minute and more on other rivals and the mountains are yet to come. We’re looking forward to Alps and Pyreness but don’t underestimate tomorrow’s and Monday’s stages either,” said Philippe Mauduit after today’s mountain finish.

This at least confirms how he looked on the climb. Barring bad legs or illness, I suspect he's going to light it up on Monday.

When Bertie attacks he doesnt look back after every other pedal strokes on who is following him.
The talking to Nibali thing is a normal ploy done by every rider in the front. Nibali was only shaking his head, and not replying. That's usually a sign that Nibali was at his limit.
AC was measuring Porte and Nibali imho.
Also, bertie attacked aound the km mark. I dont think anyone wanting to gain serious time attacks so late.
