He tried but blew up very quickly.

Paperwirk with astana is done according to het nieuwsblad.

 

[Netserk]

Good. Or at least better than Trek.

IT'S COMING HOME

 

[Roku]

I think he should be retiring altogether. I hate to see champions riding poorly for several years before calling it quits. Despite still being able to post decent results, he has declined massively this year and I fear next year he will decline even more.

107.8, so 108.

 

[Red Rick]

Didn't the leaders only hit like 97?

Did Nibali go supertuck just for the lulz?

 

[Lo squalo di messina]

Dont know about the rest of the break but Ala hit 99km/h.

Have no idea. Letourdata reported fastest descent Nibali. As an idea Alaphilippe hit a max 99.

Aaand that's why we love him. Absolutely no reason to risk his neck just to go brrr if not the sheer fun of it.

I'm not unhappy with him going to Astana, but a little part of me wanted him to get on the QS express and finally start winning some bunch sprints as he should.

 

[Lo squalo di messina]

Well the last thing i wanted to see was nibali babysitting evenepoel.

Yeah Remco trying to follow him downhill would be a disaster

 

[dusty red roads]

But Astana seem to be falling apart, I hope it works out for him!

 

[Red Rick]

He can catch Evenepol when he's 2 switchbacks down and Evenepoel goes over the ledge again

Jokes aside I expect him to at least try pretty hard to get into the break. If he's not in, I will be sorely disappointed

 

[lenric]

you're seeing it backwards: if he's not on the break it's because the break doesn't deserve him.

We should rather say he's been on a break
