Excellent win Nibali! Bravo

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

That was impressive, and what great emotions at the finish. Made my day.

 

[Climbing]

Nice attack and win!
Old guys still going strong!

Impressive by Nibali

Nibs said

1. he didn't know the climb much
2. he did know the descent
3. he made a mistake on a corner during the descent

Grazie Campione. Please, kick some more butts in the coming week.

Lol, more excitement here about Nibali's Sicily win than about Alaphilippe's worlds win, but okay... congrats

I keep forgetting who won the Worlds other than that it wasn't a Belgian tbh

You're not going to find a lot of excitement for the Worlds winner in the thread of lesser known races

Replace Covi with Horner and change a bit the order and it could be a Vuelta podium.

Kirby's pronunciation of Croatian toponyms is desperate.
If he could combine his pronunciation of "Bingoal" and "Zrmanja" maybe he'd get one right... or even both.

Would like to hear Hatch taking a shot at it.

Great wins this week from the two greatest showmen: Ala and Nibs.

When I wrote it I thought for a moment that the phrasing wasn't good, but then I thought it was good enough for you guys ... should have known better... you are all such perfectionists!

When Allaphilippe will win a race in style at almost 37 years of age, while most will have forgotten he once was world champion and which finishes in his hometown, I do hope there will be some excitement around here.

Call me when Alaphilippe wins on his home island.

You're saying that like it's something special to win a race at 37... when in fact it's totally normal because it's the pinnacle of one's life, people of that age are the fittest.

What's special is winning protour races at 21 and then still having the passion to be winning at 37.

Can't compete with that.

37 is a blink of an eye from menopause. Grey hair too.

Or hair loss, in the case of Valverde.

Valverde was already losing his hair by his mid 20s IIRC

Can't wait for the menopause. But I'd like to keep my hair.
