Contador vs NibaliI've heard him saying, multiple times, that he's more interested in the technical part.
I've recovered somewhat. 2020 his first pro year without a win. I'll be waiting anxiously until next year to see what he has to offer. Hopefully age 36 is better than 35! In the meantime he needs to sharpen his teeth and get his fins groomed! Hope lives on!
Chance he could go for an Everesting record?Contador vs Nibali
Let the kids party like it's 2014.
I consider 2011 for his first pro year without a win, because I still count Alberto's achievements in 2011. May Vincenzo use these few months to take a mental break and start the next year with a fresh mind.
I could see him going to Liege. That and Worlds are the only holes left in his palmares, really.Vincenzo can still win, but his GT days are over I'm afraid. Like Valverde, a beast, so retire or target races, be the GDL poison for years to come and get one more, be a spring devil, or just call it a day. Big Champion.

Nobody expects a 60kg climber and multi-GT winner to win Roubaix. But I can see him riding it.
Would that it were so. There are several reasons, ie the new kids on the block. When they go on the Roche aux faucons, nibali is imho likely to be found wanting. Stamina he has, but a kick to follow Ala et al, not so much.Nobody expects a 60kg climber and multi-GT winner to win Roubaix. But I can see him riding it.
No reason he can’t win Liege, though.
Apparently he told Slongo in June that he wanted to ride the Tour before the Giro to ride himself into shape, but Slongo convinced him not to do that.Anyway he looks very relaxed in interviews compared to 4-5 years ago. He seems at peace with his career and I guess he doesn't feel like he needs to prove anything. He also said something like: "at times I do things in training that I don't really understand and I feel like I'm missing something..."
#SlongoOut ?

Will we finally get rid of Slongo?!

Lo Squalo is never late. Nor is he too early.I think it's the first time he hints at not being happy about his training choices, better late than never though.
It is pretty late though...![]()
