In theory Nibali is more suited for a Paris-Roubaix than Alberto and Froome. He has a stronger team too. Nibali has one chance to win the TDF and it's tomorrow.

Even if he is alone I see him fearless to take more risks.

Well auto quote:D

gutsy rider, he said he took lots of risk and nearly fell off his bike three times. And he also said he would stop taking too much risk in the future races and he knows AC is gunning for him from now on.:D

When they sent Westra in the break it was clear that something was in the works. Nibali was the only one of the GC contenders who planned to attack the rest and be aggresive. Big balls.

Nibali will also take time in the long ITT against AC, so the question is how much time AC can take back in the high mountains?
 
Vino attacks everyone said:
doubt it. If what they say are true that he got his 09 like form back. He is perhaps the 3'd best tter at the end of a gt, after Martin and Froome

If the Contador of 09 shows up for the rest of the tour, anything less than 5 minutes is an insignificant advantage. I can see him taking a min on Nibali in the long TT with that kind of form. Every second is going to be important in the mountains. But I do wonder if Astana might have one more ambush planned for later in the race.

I see most of the forum are still writing Nibali off. I hope they're all left with egg on their faces at the end of the Tour

Anyway, Vincenzo was sublime today. He looked liked he had been riding cobbles all his life. What a rider. I'm not sure how anyone can not be a fan of his.
