Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

[Carols]

All that is gold does not glitter.
Not all who finish 19th at T-A are lost
The old that is strong does not wither,
Good legs are not reached by the frost.

On Etna a fire shall be woken,
a light on the Stelvio shall spring,
renewed shall be hopes once forgotten,
the crownless again shall be king

BRAVO, well done!!!!

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Noot been able to watch first couple of stages. How's he been? heard wind changed yesterday and he was top 10 today so that's good right?

The only scenario I fear for tomorrow is a Blockhaus 2017 (but the Etna is no Blockhaus).
If he manages his effort well enough, Giro in the bag.

Julian Alaphalippe: When it comes to celebrating too early, I am the world champion.
Fans of Vincenzo Nibali: Hold our bag full of empty beer cans.

LOL! Vince better check out Primozs' trophy cabinet and then his. There is a hole in your cabinet Vincenzo; go get it next year!

May his legs be Strong on Etna tomorrow. Forza Vince!

Admit it: it's your guilty pleasure.

Uhm...guilty?

Admit it: it's your guilty pleasure.

I'd be upset too if he'd never returned my shoes.

 

[gregrowlerson]

There was a lot of panic buying of toilet paper, but it had nothing to do with Covid. We're all going to need a lot of it when Nibali puts Thomas under pressure uphill.

It shall finally be the end of....

Did the Voodoo start already?
First signals coming from the neutralized zone.

One down...

Just need to not lose a packet to Yates now

e: ok well Yates is going backwards too...

what a day

 

[Climbing]

Excellent! He looked good, he was good!

 

[Forever The Best]

Decent day, but he should not let Kelderman go again, cause Wilco looks strong. I don't want a repeat of last year.
And yes, he looked strong.

 

[Red Rick]

At this rate if I see Nibali's name in an obituary before the Giro I won't even be fazed

 

[Gigs_98]

Bag

 

[Sestriere]

Not great not terrible in terms of his own performance I'd say. In terms of overall GC position I don't even know :'D

I think Wilco going here is fine, it's not huge time and if there's one rider I feel confident about over 3 weeks of the whole group it's Vincenzo.

He looked strong but clearly didn't have difference making legs himself and nobody was going to let him go, but the people he needed time on dropped it already so feeling pretty damn good.
