Rollthedice said:I think he's OK. But his chances are slim to win the Tour. Contador and Chris The Inhaler look too strong.

Haven't seen the stage yet, so will have to wait to comment on how Nibali looked today or how good he is.
maxmartin said:lol are we watching the same race? he looks really good on the bike, hardly any upbody movement, showing he is doing controlled temp riding not 100% at all. And when he crossed the line, I would use ease to describe the facial expression. So he is on the track to fight for the Tour.

I'm keen to believe he's gonna have a MASSIVE third week in the Tour. MASSIVE mind you, and there are tons of stages where he can launch a crazy attack.
Oh and first step first. Next step: ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP. Should look nice wearing the TRICOLORE
