He is going for WC, so Vuelta is what he is going for next.Dazed and Confused said:Could Nibali go for the Double?
I mean why not, it would generate lots of PR interest etc.
Perhaps he can even do it.
especially with his giro leg vs fresh legs. Vuelta would be best chance for himVino attacks everyone said:He is going for WC, so Vuelta is what he is going for next.
+ Both AC and Froome will be hungry for the tour, so I doubt Nibali could have a cahnce there anyways
He'd be the first.Red Rick said:Can Nibali be the first to win Tirreno, Trentino and Giro in one season, or has it been done before?
He'll be first to win TA, Trentino, Giro, Vuelta, Worlds.Netserk said:He'd be the first.

Yep I want to wait after winning Giro to say this, triple crownHugo87 said:He will be the next one after Contador, to win all 3 Major Grand Tours.
he should have advantage against those who just raced Tour in terms of preparation, Contador fading in the Tour after Giro win, Froom fading in the Vuelta after Tour effort, so why not? WC is even harder to predict because of its one day race uncertainty.LaFlorecita said:If he'd win all those races he would be the best rider of this generation instantly. But I think he will have a hard time winning the Vuelta
back to back? Tour-Vuelta, Froom faded pretty badly in the Vuelta last year while JR looked like strongest, Tour-Vuelta much harder than Giro-VueltaDekker_Tifosi said:Nibali is the strongest here. But he can't beat Froome.
And yes he beat him in the Tirreno but in a 3 week Tour Froome has enough real mountain stages to undo the damage of 1 hilly stage
even in 2014, after defending Giro, I doubt he will be much a GC threat in the Tour. If he really wants to win Tour, he has to skip Giro like he did in 2012. But it will be very hard for him to make that decision.will10 said:We won't see Vincenzo at the Tour before 2014 at the earliest anyway. A lot can change before then re: Froome & Contador (& Schleck).
Would be nice to see him properly peak for the ardennes, and then do the tour, but we need another tour route with less than 60 km of itt for him to have a real chancemaxmartin said:even in 2014, after defending Giro, I doubt he will be much a GC threat in the Tour.

Agree, I don't see him riding Giro - Tour. I think if he wins this Giro he will go full bore for the Tour and not defend the Giro next season.maxmartin said:even in 2014, after defending Giro, I doubt he will be much a GC threat in the Tour.
