Pentacycle said:Nibali was close to top shape in March. If you're looking for riders who didn't want or weren't able to peak until or during the Giro, mention Evans, Uran, Wiggins and Hesjedal, but definitely not Nibali.
Nibs did the Sky-approach of being at 95% fitness the whole season, and then hit 100% in the most important race.
Evans didn't get to correctly coordinate his training in the belief that he was to ride the tour, Wiggins form has not been what it was last year and again this could be with a mistaken eye on defending the maillot jaune later in the year. Hesjedal looked on course in April but sadly a respiratory tract infection ruined his chances.
All we can say about Nibali is that he has been exactly where he needed to be and that has resulted in the superb performances we have seen from him this year.
