Re: Re:
Indeed, Kelly was a great one day racer with 1 GT.
Not one of only 6 guys to win all 3 GTs, and one of only 4 guys to win all 3 GTs plus 2 different monuments. Totally different and higher level for Nibali .

No, he's not. Sean Kelly is maybe an all-time top 10 rider, or awfully close. He was the best in the world for 5 years! Nibali is a magnificent rider, able to produce magic moments and big wins, but I think he's not on Kelly's level (yet).
Wrong. Kelly's inability to to win GTs, apart from one Vuelta against poor opposition, in the era before mad specialisation drops him below Nibali. Kelly is up there in the best one-day racers list.
