Re: Re:
That said, we definitely haven't seen the best from Nibali yet. It will shock me if he doesn't end on the podium right now and I still think he will be the biggest opponent for Quintana in the end, altho its Dumoulin now.
I think it was said jokingly.bambino said:Rollthedice said:Cycle Chic said:its probably a south african Brent Copeland advice thing - to copy Froome ...how sad to see Nibali, one of the, if not the, greatest bike handler / rider now looking like a freak.
Nah, it's the Slongo approach to reach an absolute peak in the last week by forcing him to ride in unnatural position, unsuitable gear, wrong crank length so when he gets back to his usual he'll fly.
I think this is very close to the truth. Last time I've seen Nibali driving full long climb from the seat was certain Dauphine in 2014. And we all know what happened afterwards...
