He looked better today in LBL, so I guess its shape is increasing. While Scarponi is strong since T-A. Scarponi is surely better in the mountains, but Nibali isn't bad either. And he's got the final ITT for him.

Don't sweat it, Martin isn't riding anyway.Bavarianrider said:What a shame the only flat TT is such a pathetic bended and cornered city curcuit. Considering the mountains there should be a real 55k Tt at least
Besides even if you put two 60km ITT's in, Martin still won't win the Giro because 1 steep mountain he loses 10 minuteshrotha said:Don't sweat it, Martin isn't riding anyway.
