Hope it's true, but if it's Bulbarelli saying it I'm not buying.Michele said:On Rai today they said that Nibali requested on the contract with Astana that he will ride Giro in 2013.
Thanks great clipFausto said:
The deal with Nibali was already done and it was a very decent offer from Astana and I doubt 3th place in the tour change that much.Carols said:Good he is focusing on the Giro for next year, he can win it
Any chance that with the Schlecks possibly joining Astana he'll look elsewhere before signing? He did just podium at le Tour, I'm sure there will be additional offers! I was fine with Astana until the yahoos got linked to them
Would someone kindly post comments from the press conf? Here in the USA I'll not be able to get it. Thanks!
Yes but if Nibali is ever to win le Tour he doesn't need Andy aroundmaxmartin said:The deal with Nibali was already done and it was a very decent offer from Astana and I doubt 3th place in the tour change that much.
And I don't think there will be too much problem if AS joined Astana, they can definitely focus on different racing programs. The only race they may clash is LBL, but that is just one race and co-leadership with Iglinski should solve the problem.
I agree, but I don't think Nibali would be able to win Le Tour the next couple of years with Contador around anyway. Better focus on the Giro and/or Vuelta and leave the second place streak to Andy.Carols said:Yes but if Nibali is ever to win le Tour he doesn't need Andy around![]()
If there's a video around I can translate it for you.Carols said:Would someone kindly post comments from the press conf? Here in the USA I'll not be able to get it. Thanks!

He's aiming for very select company thereParrulo said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/nibali-i-want-to-win-all-three-grand-tours
my boy nibali certainly is ambitious. i think he can get 2 but getting a tour on the next few years will be hard with contador still young enough to last a few more years and whole bunch of young guns stepping up.
still, go nibbs!!!
Its refreshing to hear. We have grown so accustomed to riders focusing on a single goal, to hear one speak about wanting to achieve in all the grand tours is encouraging.Parrulo said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/nibali-i-want-to-win-all-three-grand-tours

Without any doubt, he is one of the most consistent GT contender out there and he is also extremely active in monuments like MSR, LBL and tour of lombardy.Carl0880 said:Its refreshing to hear.

I find it difficult to understand the criticism of Vincenzo, to make a podium at a Grand Tour means you were competitive, and in a span of 2 years he has podiumed 4 times.
Interesting, soon to be former teammate on his left, soon to be new teammate on his right?Fausto said:Just for the record: meanwhile, Nibali has won the Criterium van Boxmeer.

From the pic it seems he won at the sprintFausto said:
I love the guy. If he's able to attack he will.cineteq said:Why other riders don't say the same, this Squalo is very ambitious!
