That would be a great plan for when he is riding away with Mas, Landa, Uijtdebroeks and Meintjes!Regarding San Remo: why not win the sprint of a small group? Remco is working on his sprint too![]()

No, but what Nibali says is not the same as what he knows. And he talked ***.O
Ok, so you know better than Nibali who was actually in the race. Use your eyes? Use your brain.
Like you are doing now.No, but what Nibali says is not the same as what he knows. And he talked ***.
Tell me then, when during the climb was Nibali positioned to try to follow him?Like you are doing now.

Observation beats interpretation. Show me an image that supports your postulate.
Don't get why we're treating riders hyperboles as truths, but here we are.
Dude Nibali went after him, so you are peeing in the Wind.Tell me then, when during the climb was Nibali positioned to try to follow him?

Oops. Now he's not. Still too early to project Giro finishes but, as I said on Roglic thread: it's going to exciting! Best racing we've seen this year.Rog was clearly struggling on the long climb in Tirreno. Now he's very clearly 2nd best.
Evenepoel's attack was well-covered. Nibali did not try to go with him. He was not even sitting anywhere near him. That's the factual truth.Don't get why we are now questionning other rider statements.. based on what? some tv images we have? Would advice to start riding in the peleton and then you can talk about it.
No matter where Nibali is/was he knows the speedup of the peleton and that they hand't caught him. He gives his opinion. you can disagree with his opinion, but be fair about it instead of finding excuses why his opinion as a rider that was involved in the race is wrong whereas a banksitter watching tv fragments is right. We as viewers have absolutely no id what goes on in the peleton and what they can see/hear/feel.
Remco would drop everyone on poggio doing what he is good at. Climbing in indurain style.Remco would attack frantically on the poggio, get a small gap and then take a wrong turn on the descent.
"I tried to get on his wheel, but it was futile, because when he attacked he was going three times as fast as e everybody else."
Recently since UAE tour he's trying to turn himself into Contador, doing fancy acceleration and looking over his shoulderRemco would drop everyone on poggio doing what he is good at. Climbing in indurain style.
"Lack of evidence?" "Just because there is little evidence yet doesn't mean there is a lack of evidence."Oh ye of little faith! Zero evidence? He's just warming up, and after his setback. He shall, wait and see. Remember Remco came late to cycling. Already this year, at 23, we should see climbing performances that will be stratospheric. By the time he's 25 he'll be dropping them all in the mountains of the Grand Bouclé. It's his destiny!
He is just missing the dance of contador when he gets up on the bike.Recently since UAE tour he's trying to turn himself into Contador, doing fancy acceleration and looking over his shoulder
When he gets 25, the dawg will have 40 years, and will win the tour de france like Horner won vuelta 2013. No chance for remco. The dawg is getting the hard miles until 40 also after his setback.Oh ye of little faith! Zero evidence? He's just warming up, and after his setback. He shall, wait and see.

Faster with help from stupidity. I'd like to see obAh, well that's too bad. Roglič just stronger. Chapeau to him!
If you are so presumptuous as to think Nibali didn't know what he was talking about then you are wasting your time with me. You want to put footage before being there, go ahead.This is what I responded to. Not an interpretation, not an opinion. A factual statement. A false statement.
He's been a better teammate to Roglic than the Jumbo guys, so i understand your sentiment.Good performance on stage 5.

Roglic was smarter. Or in this case it would be more fitting to say, Remco was dumber. He did not give it his best, he played right into the hands of Roglic.Nah. He gave it his best. As he had to try just that if he wanted to move forward in GC. Roglič was just better. No shame in that. On top of that Remco said in his post race interview Roglič is an idol to him. And that he for sure will try again. Hence it's not the end of the world.
