Why? Maybe because he spent years riding for Leakygas and over the years delivered results worth of respectable treatment? Or because he wants to race and win some races for his team?Zam_Olyas said:Jonathan Vaughters
@fmk_RoI if I were Liquigas, Nibali would not be going to the Tour. Sorry. Why would any team invest in a guy that is one foot out the door?
He's got it backwards. Having a top rider like Nibali on the squad is not investing but rather collecting a return on your investment. Thor had one foot out the Garmin door by the end of Classics last year and delivered big time in the Tour.Zam_Olyas said:Jonathan Vaughters

karlboss said:Liquigas, why you would not send Nibali?
Really it would just be to screw Nibali and do Liquigas absolutely no favours. They could win the Tour with Nibali, at least be in the fight. UCI points for WT license can't be an issue for liquigas. I'm sure the sponsors are keen for the best rider on the squad to go.
As stated liquigas wouldn't be investing in Nibali by sending him, this is one of their last chances to collect on their investment.
If, as he's not allowed to, Nibali hasn't signed, there is a chance to add another million to his salary with a win![]()

Some of you's need to think like a DS and not like a trophy giving parent of a kid who never showed up to practice for some random kids' sport.Zam_Olyas said:Jonathan Vaughters

Who in the world is gonna give a chance to a guy who hasn't even been a reliable domestique for the past 2 years?Havetts said:Szmyd should get the chance to ride for himself.
This means Nibali is getting reunited with kreuziger. or is Kreuz moving away form Astana?SafeBet said:He's going to Astana.
Szmyd and Oss should go to BMC.
Still unclear.the asian said:This means Nibali is getting reunited with kreuziger. or is Kreuz moving away form Astana?
He'll be better off with BMC in the long run.Moviefan1203 said:If he goes to BMC, as is being speculated, won't there be a pretty big language barrier? He doesn't speak much English.
bmc has a big italian contingent so it wouldn't be a problem.Moviefan1203 said:If he goes to BMC, as is being speculated, won't there be a pretty big language barrier? He doesn't speak much English.
Evans, Quinziato, Santa x 2, Ballan, Pinotti, Phinney... Italian would be their second most common language.Moviefan1203 said:If he goes to BMC, as is being speculated, won't there be a pretty big language barrier? He doesn't speak much English.
