Very underrated IMO. Would like to see him go for another GC at Giro or Vuelta.Billie said:First on in the Dauphiné.
Stage wins:
Paris-Nice 2x
Catalunya 2x
Suisse
Dauphiné
Giro (Stelvio)
Tour (Mont Ventoux-Chalet Renard)
Plus many KoM jerseys and ofcourse a final podium in il Giro.
Great rider
it's indeed that he doesn't wat to do it anymore, said in an interview that he was then 2/3 kilo's lighter than now doesn't want to do the efforts anymore...RedheadDane said:If he doesn't want to, why should he? He's pretty brilliant at what he does.![]()
He prefers to ride off on his own and meditate.Kwibus said:He also says he is unable to focus for 21 days.

Am I missing something here? No ITT or TTT win at the Vuelta. He has won a couple of stages in the Volta (a Catalunya) though.roundabout said:Maybe he would prefer to ride over the line first, but he has won a stage in the Vuelta.
Are we still talking about Nibali here? In official papers he did win stage 20 in Vuelta 2010 when Mosquera was wiped out from the results.Tank Engine said:Am I missing something here?

Oh, if it's Nibali then he's won the 2013 TTT with Astana as well!bambino said:Are we still talking about Nibali here?

Probably the smartest rider around re knowing how to ride in a break and making the most of his opportunities. Even when he fails to win it's always entertaining.yaco said:De Gendt is an excellent role model for young WT or PCT riders - Get into a break with De Gendt and you learn the requirements to be a very good WT rider.
