True, Contador does it pretty much every year again. Same with VDB2.

wait. Are you telling the sky fans that other teams use wind tunnels too ?
Dekker_Tifosi said:
indeed very very late, at 28 he is about one year away from retirement so why even bother
by looking at the pictures and comparing them to the tour ones his position does look different, the elbows are further inside and his body is more ahead on the bike which makes his back flatter.
let's hope he improves enough to stay within a minute and a half of wiggins at the giro

Wait, is this really his first time?
That would be pretty bad especially knowing what last year's tour route was.
He should have started it at least in 2010. I hope he did that.

Of course he did; dilgently at age 32...wow it is indeed never to late to work on your weaknesses!
Miburo said:
no, he had already worked on this during last years off-season, there is plenty speculation on weather he had improved or not his itt with his new position.
according to an interview with the specialized guys a few months ago, they said that cannondale's team had done a bad job with his position because while they made him more aero, his new position wasn't using nibali strongest muscle groups so it didn't give him any improvement in performance. of course since it came for the specialized guys i would take it a grain of salt as its probably just a PR stunt.

well, we shall see in the Giro. If indeed he does improves, then it's not merely a PR stunt.

Pretending all teams are equally professional is about as stupid as saying everything Sky do is revolutionary.
Great performance by Nibali today- very aggressive & taking blows with Contador-sadly it wasn't enough to counter the SKY scam......anyways- Looking forward to see him doing some crazy attacks in M-SR & the classics.
Isn't Nibali overdoing it? Riding all those classics could cost him the necessary last few percents to win the Giro. There are many riders like S. Sanchez, Wiggins or Hesjedal taking it much easier atm, but they will be ready for Nibbles at the Giro.

I don't think MSR will be a problem because it's 2 month before the Giro, for what regard the Ardennes i think he will skip Amstel and Fleche to ride the Trentino, so by racing only Liege he won't compromise Giro build-up.
Very impressed with Nibbles today, he did very well. And for a while it looked like he could put a dent in Sky. He looks right on track for the Giro, I just hope he doesn't overdo it like Pentacycle said.
He's definitely going to be the only one that can Challenge Sky, hopefully Wiggins shows up in crap form.
