So this is where I turn on music that makes me nostalgic, lay in my bed, close my eyes and get sad of wittnessing the end of an era.
The reality is, after this giro I don't expect him to ever be the top rider he used to be again, but whatever happens from here on, nothing can change how highly I regard this guy. Nothing can change that he was one of the biggest idols of my childhood, my teenage years and even now (which still feels suspiciously much like childhood. I might be doing something wrong). I'm not quite ready to say good bye just yet and still hope for some good performances in the future but it feels like I have to prepare myself for the inevitable.
I just wish Vincenzo Nibali could win one more bike race.
