Two "cracked ribs" as per google translate. No Worlds then for Italy. One week rest then preparation for Lombardia with Coppa Sabatini, Tre Valli Varesine and maybe Giro dell’Emilia. To be noted that he didn't force when he fell on the descent, it was bad luck, unavoidable on the slippery tarmac.

Gigs_98 said:Nibali is looking really good and is now probably the main favorite for Il Lombardia. Moreover after todays performance on a short climb I think he could probably even win if he waits for San Fermo della Battaglia.
In this shape nobody who was here today has a shot. I can only see Barguil and Dumoulin being trouble.Climbing said:Gigs_98 said:Nibali is looking really good and is now probably the main favorite for Il Lombardia.

He is looking in monster shape and the opponents are pretty much the top 10 and some others from today, so absolutely the main favorite (already was to be honest).
You never know what happens in one day races, but I hope for another monument!
Sky in general. They have Rosa, Landa, Kwiatkowski and Moscon. If they play it smart they can make the race completely uncontrollable which makes it hard for the favorite to win.Red Rick said:In this shape nobody who was here today has a shot.

Oh, and the Landa.

Edit: Does anyone know if he plans to ride Milano Torino or tre valli varesine as well?

11th in a bunch sprint behind a lot of guys who can sprint pretty well. Dan Martin finished dead last in the lead group, and is still recovering from his back injury, but nobody's shouting anyone down for suggesting him as a contender.Kwiat was nowhere at the Worlds.
