Never said he wasn't although in my opinion he is still behind Froome and Contador in pure climbing, just pointing out that it's still unbalanced.

It tells me nothing.

Le gambe girano bene! La determinazione e la cattiveria ci sono, ma..quest'anno la prima vittoria stagionale non arriva proprio!!Grrr
Google translated:

Pippo_San said:Yup real thing this year he kept attacking on descents or flats...uphill his legs look so-so...we'll see...
maxmartin said:because he is training extremely hard for long ITT
Rollthedice said:He trained so hard for the ITT that he forgot to climb properly. I didn't get the idea why he attacked today from so far out.
NaturalClen said:he seems to heavy, way to bigger legs. seems to have the power but needs to lose 2-3 kg's till TdF
Dekker_Tifosi said:Is it just me or is Nibali turning a massive gear uphill? If you see his attacks or when he tries to hang on it really seems he is doing it almost Gonchar style
