Ladies in gentlemen

Ladies IN gentlemen?

Well, if there was ever going to be a pregnant man, it would likely be Chief Wiggum.

Yes, his belly could probably carry a full grown lady.

I have fraudian slips all the time

I'm not sure I can cope with this thread if Nibali has a broken wrist and can't ride the Giro.

 

[BlueRoads]

I don't care whether he rides the Giro. But he's not going to slip out of the Tour of the Alps?

 

[Carols]

You and me both! Please no broken wrist!

 

[Gigs_98]

F*ck that. Now that something like this has happened I'm certain we will soon find out he is actually back to his best and he could have won the giro if not for this injury.

Surely they can fix a radio before that.

I'm gutted for both him and the race, and myself who won't enjoy it as much without him in it. Hopefully he can be ready to win the olympic gold.

Tour as a prep race for the Olympics. Like 5 years ago.
Hopefully this year no crash during the race.

Gutted for him.

Gutted for Il Giro

Gutted for 3 weeks of memes.

Gutted all around.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I suppose this will result in him stage hunting at the Tour now. Or was he already planning on doing that post Giro?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

giro is bad but was hoping to see him give a good showing in liege (( still a hole in his palmares

2022 --> Lefevere --> Liege.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

It's in the cast.

 

[Red Rick]

Let's hope for good showing in Tour breaks?

 

[Sestriere]

Well excuse my French but cazzo merda

An Oscar Pereiro style break.

The Bag might be alive yet.

The English reminds me of the English in Spartacus.

Who am I kidding?

I'll be living in The Chamber Of Lies for a few months.

Suddenly Contador 2014 Vuelta feels!

 

[BlueRoads]

Oh god, even though I'm really not affected personally I feel a wave of shocks and empathy flooding through me right now because of all you guys and I'm hoping things will turn out well for you and him.

I don't think even his biggest fans were giving him a serious chance in the Giro after last season, but it would still be A chance, and that gives some hope (as well as memes).

As mentioned by another poster, missing LBL is probably a bigger deal, if he does indeed miss it, because it was more realistic that the shark could contend (and it is missing from his palmares).

But to put it all in context (in terms of career importance), this might only be 5% frustration levels for fans compared to Contador crashing in stage 10 of the 2014 Tour.

Let's be real. Nibali is at the stage in his career where I'd start getting hyped about smaller wins as well. Don't have Nibali as a Liege winner vs the likes of Alaphilippe, not at this stage in his career, but if he can get 2 good GTs with aggressive riding in and hopefully a stage win that'd be nice.
