Yesterday on Raisport they showed some images from the San Pellegrino training camp some Liquigas riders took part in preparation for le Tour and the main question was "is Nibali ready for the Tour?".
He answered that at Dauphine he wasnt as good as he expected by that it was an important training step toward July and both him and his trainer said they feel confidents cause the wattage numbers are there next to his best values.
Personally he sounded not really 100% confident but trying to be.
Then they spoke also with Basso and he said that his time is gone for Tour (after saying this he had a little bit of silence like if he understood to have said something wrong) and that he will help Nibali at his best.
As usual Basso was doing more hours on bike than other guys (for example he arrived at the starting meeting point all alone from another direction while others arrived from the hotel).
