You think we should challenge Ryo to name 30 better climbers than Nibali?

Parrulo said:Well he was able to name like 40 the last time so it should be hard to reach 30
I noticed he has gone terribly quiet lately![]()
Red Rick said:Nibali is also improving quite rapidly so I think the Angliru stage might just be a repeat of what we saw on Tre Cime, (except the weather will be better and the gaps will be bigger)![]()
maxmartin said:The most ridiculous thing I heard on this forum is "Oh Nibali's GT win was gifted. WTF!"
Parrulo said:If you pay attention to what Webvan says, all his GT wins were gifted and he is many levels below the great GT rider Bradley wiggins![]()

maxmartin said:“Horner set a very high rhythm and I preferred to stay on his wheel. There are still some hard stages to come, so it’s important to measure the effort. Today was very difficult, with the wind, the cold, the rain. Tomorrow will be even harder.”
Sounds like he is saving energy, getting everything ready for Angulu

And it doesn't matter how cold it is; he has nerves of steel that cannot be frozen![]()
Parrulo said:Remember when Nibali was one of the most hated riders on the forum despite already being badass?
I do![]()
If it was the last race of the year, I have no doubt that he would've raced it. He still had his most important races ahead of him, so he couldn't afford to get sick (that would mess his Giro prep), coupled with the fact that it's close to impossible for him to win that race.phanatic said:Well there was that one La Primavera. That was not a day for GT men.
That sounds right. I looked back and saw he was checking out the Giro ITT between T-A and MSR and playing up the other cyclists on the team.Netserk said:If it was the last race of the year, I have no doubt that he would've raced it.
