Re:

Tejay! Hopefully this means he's back!

Oh, please don't get too excited. He'll just let you (and me) down....

Good stage. See, Guillen? Descent finishes are great.

Re: Re:

This isn't the giro nibali... here you face the best gt man of the planet. Overachiever little bastard!

LOL

That's what you get by overestimating lo squalo!

Nibali is a clown. And yes he is overachiever, can't even know how he won today. I will wait for angliru, that climb never lies!

 

[TMP402]

Nibali the 100th rider to win a stage in all three GTs.

 

[Scarponi]

The bonus seconds counted !

 

[gunara]

lol Nibali... People needs to learn not to get excited prematurely in a stage like this

 

[arvc40]

Hopefully Nibali can come 2nd in the Vuelta.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Awesom win by Vincenzo Literally the best case scenario to come out of this stage after they'd crested the summit of the last climb

Re:

Nibali!!!

Nice late attack near the line, Nibs is looking strong!

Apart from getting dropped on a cat 2? I know everyone wants him to be strong as he is the most likely to beat Froome, but it looks like wishful thinking to me.

This. Great win by Lo Squalo.

Hopefully Nibali can come 2nd in the Vuelta.

Agree with this, he didn't look good on the climb but descended like a beast, as you'd expect from him.

Helped by little cooperation in the front group of four.

Really cool celebration btw.

This stage just shows why I like Nibali so much. He doesn't have to be the strongest rider to win a stage, something which seems to be the case very rarely among gc contenders nowadays.

 

[Climbing]

Ahah that exultation joke on the line...

 

[sir fly]

Expected more from Contador...

 

[Frankschleck]

sad for contador :/

 

[RattaKuningas]

That was one exciting finish. I didn't think that Nibali was going to do anything when he got dropped but he fought back.

 

[deValtos]

Got to love the Vuelta. Also let's not get depressed with Sky here, they made the race. Vuelta always good.

 

[DNP-Old]

Really good from the great Hernan Aguirre.

 

[bassano]

Great win, nice to see Vincenzo ride like that, hopefully little problém on last climb is npot bad sign and he will be at his best in third week

 

[rainman]

Can never write off Nibali. Sad to see Bertie not a shadow of his former self.

Bravo Il Squalo! What a rider...he makes the best of what he has. He sure wasn't the strongest, yet he prevailed.

 

[Hayabusa]

Second stage in a row where Nibali is simultaneously the winner but also appears to have lost as well (Moreno crash and getting dropped on the final climb).
