Ain't never gonna happen. I rate Froome and Quintana higher than Nibali, well we still need to see how the nibali of the giro weighs up against them but even then doing that double for him is nearly impossible.Carols said:Indeed.

Nibali believes Giro-Vuelta double would be huge and make history!

It is a hugh accomplishment, but is 2nd to Giro-TourVino attacks everyone said:Nothing 2nd rate about Giro/Vuelta double![]()

Unless it's a bad translation:
Nibali confident in his chances because he knows that come into the story. "If I could get the Giro-Tour double would do something big, historical. Only outside of class have done. " Does the combination is possible? "Tour and Vuelta not know. Among Giro and Tour, however, there is more time to recover. " The French round will be his main goal in 2014, but does not forget the Italian round. "It can be done. But two careers that require the highest level, and it is difficult. "

That's your opinion. IMO Nibali should start in the GT with best field, not the Giro. Next year should be his best year or one of his best(will turn 30), which he shouldn't waste beating some 2nd tier GT riders and fading stars.Netserk said:I really hope he rides the Giro next year. Best GT deserves the best GT rider.

Gift it.maxmartin said:will he try to defend the red or gift it to someone in the next couple of stages?
I guess it is not entirely in his hand, other teams might help him keeping itNetserk said:Gift it.
No doubts.

I am not so sure. Sprint team will chase everything down. Plus this is from JB's interview from yesterday.Carols said:To long to hold it, he has to give it away!!!
Nice to see him in Red so early though![]()
Nibs aint going to carry the Red jersey all the way to Madrid- I bet is even gonna be passed on to whoever makes the breakaway tomorrow or in the coming days-even as late as stage 7 before the real mountain test the next daymaxmartin said:I am not so sure.

“I will wear this jersey tomorrow, but I will pass it to [Nibali] tomorrow. And we hope it will stay like that for the rest of the race,” Brajkovic said. “I am here to work for Nibali. We are all here to support him.”
It is plausible ASTANA will defend the red SKY/Froom style.![]()
Froome would already be a minute ahead by now.maxmartin said:It is plausible ASTANA will defend the red SKY/Froom style.![]()
DAFUQ, best GT rider, he is not even 2nd. C.F, NQ, then i will put Basso(you will see this Vuelta Basso is back these 2 former riders will be an epic battle. But Nibali should do the Giro/Tour, atleast then he as an excuse because he aint winning the Tour.Netserk said:I really hope he rides the Giro next year. Best GT deserves the best GT rider.
Nibali is the best atm. If we look at palmares it's Contador. Strength this year = NibblesTANK91 said:DAFUQ, best GT rider, he is not even 2nd.

Froome was really much impressive than Nibbles this year.I doubt that Nibali can do what Froome did on Ax 3 or Ventoux.LaFlorecita said:Nibali is the best atm. If we look at palmares it's Contador. Strength this year = Nibbles
