The difference between Nibali and everyone else is that Nibali takes time whenever and wherever he can while others speculate.
Contador does as well..
No Contador doesn't take advantage of another rider's misfortune.
Nibali likes to do that, did that when Froome had mechanical in last year's Tour, Astana upped the pace when AC crashed in the Tour 14' .
If he saw his main rival crash right in front of him, he'd go for it and then be called a champion hahah.
Come on. This is just ridiculous. Contador attacked Andy when he had a mechanical in the TdF '10 and in last year's Giro attacked when Landa was caught behind because of a crash. Yes, Astana did the same to him a few days earlier, but the sycophantic praise of Contador even in Nibali's thread when he has just won the Giro is quite tiresome.
Also, do you really expect Nibali to stop and wait for Kruijswijk when he has distanced everyone else (the race was full on!) on the climb and when the crash was Steven's own fault? I feel sorry for Kruijswijk, but he made a mistake while trying to follow a better descender. It happens and no one else can be at fault here.
Congratulations to Nibali on a hard fought victory that once again showed his amazing grinta.
