Marginal gains? Will he be adopting a gluten-free diet and
changing his cadence?

 

[Cyivel]

Best trophy imo:

Women aren't trophies, brother.

I have no problem with these 'marginal gains'.

Don't let Hincapie hear you...

 

[LaFlorecita]

Not in contention for coolest award....

That's awesome

Wait a sec. Jarno Trulli is working for Specialized? Didn't know that.

Sagan thinking, "This is not fair... Big bear, that´s for me!"...

Is that good or bad?

Well I guess it's good. He used to be a F1 driver, he's got to know something about aerodynamics

Just watched an interview on youtube. Apparently he's good friends with Di Luca and lots of other pro riders, especially from Abruzzo. He started working with Specialized this year.

Wasn´t there some helmet story when Di Luca won the Giro in 2007? Trulli wearing a rosa helmet, or sth like that?

Does he not speak english?

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think everyone on an international team speaks English to some extent. Maybe he just doesn't feel comfortable doing interviews in English.

He's not proficient in english, that's for sure.
Gotta say his italian is not immaculate either

I found this:

And there are links mentioning that rosa helmet too

 

[Parrulo]

well taking into account that nibali made all of his career in italy it is not surprising he doesn't speak english, astana is pretty much an italian team as well.

 

[LaFlorecita]

it's the same with Alberto he speaks every language really bad even Spanish though Berto did do the T-A interviews in English, that was cool. But I don't mind riders doing interviews in their own language

Thanks , so evident links between cycling and Formula1 in Italy (Trulli-Di Luca) and Spain (Alonso huge cycling fan).

Sad for top cyclists though that difference in salaries is also quite evident...

Ok SO Nibbs is ready to go for M-SR once again- We all know he -at least- will attack in the Poggio- BUT- the forecast indicates that conditions might deteriorate-so if that happens- he'll be up there to get his reward.

Good luck Shark

 

[maxmartin]

Good
Nibali is already preparing for the Giro long ITT
Odds always favor those best prepared

He wants a little rain but not too cold weather

They don't have to bring their own sponsors though, usually.

our favourite squalo will stay in tenerife until the 9th of this month and then will go reckon a few stages of the giro, particularly the MTT and the last 3 mountain stages.

then he will ride trentino and liege before the giro, reaching the giro with 29 racing days in his legs which is 9 more days than wiggins.

Sounds good to me to be honest

leaner and meaner, he better not be BSing!!!

he should still have a small progression margin for the giro right?
