Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

Hope he can win tomorrow and pay tribute to Pantani !

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think that is a good place to end all of this meta.

I agree

Hope he can win tomorrow and pay tribute to Pantani !

That would be nice indeed

 

[LaFlorecita]

It will be Nibbles vs Quintana and hopefully Contador at next years' Tour.

Is that what you hope or think

Think. After 2013 Tour, the picture should be clearer. So far, so good !

Hmm... I really think Froome will be up there. He won't fade away that quickly.

that depends if he is still riding for SKY.

If he wins the tour this year I don't think he'll leave

 

[Netserk]

IIRC he has 2 more years with Sky.

Back to Nibali:
How well do you think he'll do in the MTT? I think he'll win it

Of course he'll win, he is by far the strongest in the race. Alberto also won relatively easy in 2011. I expect Nibali to do the same.

can't see anyone beat him in MTT

Has a very good chance. Cadel, once again the main opponent.

Lol exactly! Great proof thanks zam for that thread idea

You have alot to thank me for ...thanking me for a thread idea is waayyyyyyyyyy down on the list.

 

[The Hitch]

I would not be surprised in the slightest if the 2014 (which starts in GB and aims to make GB the new centre of the sport) will have 0 mtfs and 100k of itt like last year.

Froome (Sky) vs Wiggins (Sky wolfpac) ftw.

For example this great avatar bet I only made because I felt sorry for you since it was one-sided?

Oh, forgot about that.

Hopefully ASO will be satisfied with JTL bossing the Yorkshire stages and Cav winning the stage to london, and make it a bit more interesting, though I fear you may be right.

Stop talking about LaFlo, Zams threads and 2014 tour de france. I try to make an animal sacrifice to my new god in this thread

Will Wiggins have to wear black and red.

Also expect Nibali to win the MTT.

I'm still worried that his tough guy bravado he showed today by wearing short sleeves, no gloves etc might have an adverse effect in coming days

from Nibali

“I only took off my long-sleeve jersey with 7km to go on the climb,” Nibali said, as if explaining himself to an overbearing parent. “I was dressed lightly on the final climb because I was treating it like a time trial, but in any case, I suffered the cold in my feet rather than in my hands and arms.”

 

[whittashau]

Just watched the final climb. Very impressive from nibbles. Maybe the best I've seen him on a climb and I feel he could have won the stage easily if he had wanted to.

Kangert was also quite impressive on earlier on the climb.

 

[Samson]

Kangert was also quite impressive on earlier on the climb.

Hope he gets the chance to ride as a team leader in some (one week) tour in this year. Would be interesting to see how he does.

As for Nibali, impressive and very nice of him giving the victory to Santambrogio.
