Clever boy Nairo. Knowing that there are that vast breed of riders who almost always seem to have the form (or hitting the form in the right time). 1998 Jan Ullrich after netting 10 kilos overweight at Mallorca still found the right form and it took a epic ride from the great Pantani to bring the kaiser down.
Its fun that AC plays these mindgames but he is too different rider for that to work.
These Nibots. If they are not cheering their rivals crashes the logic is all over the place:
As i've said earlier, and it showed itself already in the Tour, that in order to keep the myth going Nibots has started to construct their own reality: if the numbers are not on par we'll create a parallell universe where "he didn't go as fast as he could" (of course ignoring Puritos remarks and his owns words), they've also started to act as if nothing ever happened during the Tour and that Froome and Contador still was in the race and if they was it still wouldnt matter since he "could have gone faster then the numbers" (lets pretend these numbers never have been hitted and construct that reality where they could exist).
Why are we even discussing Nibali in this thread when there is a thread about him collecting dust at page 2 in this forum? Its a shame they seems more intrested to talk about Contador then their own god.
You was specifically asked to provide examples from races around 2014 where Nibali dropped AC, not in a passive-agressive manner pick and choose races where you suggest Nibali deliberately lost so that he could peak his fantasynumbers in races where AC didn't compete.

BlurryVII said:Anybody who watched the race could see that he went flat out both on Hautacam and PDBF.
Didn't he say " I climbed up Hautacam as if it was an uphill TT" ?
So your intial point " He has never gone all out the entire Tour" is just as biased and wrong. Nibali's proving you wrong by his own words. How convenient.
Not mentioning that AC did put him in the red at Gerardmer as well.
You guys keep bringing the same redundant arguments, "Nibali's never put in a little dig once" " He is on par with the best, see TA 2013 TA 2013 TA 2013 TA 2013"
And you say you're not overrating him...
