Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

[Red Rick]

Since he was the first to abandon the sinking AC ship.

It hasn't sunk, it just had a slight bump that's all

 

[Rollthedice]

He controlled this race from the first day With a strong TTT he put time into main contenders then riding defensively until he was getting in form. The first real mountain stage he attacked, I'd say not to catch Horner but to test and put some time into Valverde and Purito. Realistically Horner is not a contender and I'm sure Nibali knew that he could soundly beat the man in ITT. Now the real race begins, we haven't seen much of Tiralongo but I expect he'll help when it's needed. Valverde is the most dangerous but it's up to Nibali to win or loose.

 

[The Hitch]

Since when you are on board? LOL

Huh?
Ive been defending Nibali on here long before you son.

Eg see the 2011 Nibali wars about whether Nibali was a wheelsucker who never attacked or the new Vino (the nickname i gave him 1 and a half years before he signed for Vino)

Never abandoned no ship. Im the guy radioing in from hq that the captain is behaving incompetently and steering the ship into an area of mucho soviet submarines.

I refuse to go down some "God save the king, its his ministers to blame" caution/cowardice route and pretend the king/captain in the analogy is faultless.

Whether yall choose to listen to my info or burn effegies of me as a traitor, thats up to yall

Fair enough, though I still don't get what that "info" is supposed to be. My opinion on you doesn't change because I have no clue what the point is you're trying to make (feel free to explain in it in an appropriate place) ans as the crazy russian would say "the bridges are fired".

 

[webbie146]

Nibali looked solid today, happy he's back in the red jersey

Me either; haven't a clue what all the outrage is about and I'm no wide eyed fan.....

Anyway this is the Nibali thread.....Lo Squalo bossing the Vuelta now

 

[Rollthedice]

Just saw the pictures and video with him on the podium, sunglasses, his eyes were swollen apparently after the wasp sting and it was bad in the morning. Given the circumstances today's TT turned out very good for him. Big Mig was also present...

I think the main threats are Horner and Valverde. Mostly Horner.

I don't get the joke

 

[Eshnar]

I don't get the joke

hornets, wasps, you know... they look to be Nibali's strongest enemy today

 

[Netserk]

Now I got it

I need to go to bed soon I guess...

 

[Cyivel]

Horner also had an issue today with a bee one flew in his mouth and he tried to eat it.

I thought it flew into his buttocks, since he stood up all the time

 

[Cyivel]

I thought it flew into his ****, since he stood up all the time

I suppose you could say they are similar given he talks out of both of them

Is better than the one im about to make.

He thought thats where bee-root juice comes from.

Ill get my coat.

 

[SafeBet]

Anybody's got a picture of the eye after the wasp thing?

 

[Netserk]

Nope. I have only seen him with sunglasses on.

[number0]

before the ITT

he seems a Kazako..not a Siciliano

 

[jens_attacks]

that is bazayev....



pretty ugly, hope he's ok by now...

 

[Parrulo]

Remember when Nibali was one of the most hated riders on the forum despite already being badass?

I do

 

[Rollthedice]

Any particular reasons?

 

[maxmartin]

Horner is stronger than I thought, but still expecting him to crack on some stage to lose more than a min to Nibali

 

[Parrulo]

Any particular reasons?

Well he was a boring, overrated wheelsucker according to some

This back in 2010, 2011 ofc
