Last year he was pretty good in this race. It was the first time after Alpe d'Huez that I thought "the old Nibali is getting back".

Invitations for trophy cabinet visitations were handed outNothing special yesterday, the post-race video didn't show the peloton on the climbs. He went afterwards to Milan for the Inter-AC football match.
Apparently for Giro dell'Emilia all three GT winners from this year are expected: Carapaz, Bernal and Roglic.
Still, I think the WC in this weather would have suited him fine.
Not winning maybe, but you never know...
Antonio can bottle it, Vincenzo can win it.After Rio and today, next year when Nibali will start his solo descending from the last Petite Forclaz, Cassani will most likely get out of the team car and hide under a bush.
Yeah, poor guy hates racing in the rain. Surely would have called for the race to get cancelledNibali was the smart one in declining to go to the Worlds.
Just hope for Antonio weatherTeam for Emilia: Vincenzo Nibali, Dylan Teuns, Yukiya Arashiro, Damiano Caruso, Antonio Nibali, Hermann Pernsteiner and Andrea Garosio. Teuns leader with Vincenzo. Most likely (-Yukiya) this will be the team for Lombardia, not too good but that's what it is available.
Didn't see it.First year without a GT or Monument win?!
Looked okay early, but then really bad at the end of the penultimate lap.

Well I clearly meant that he doesn't have the form to win it, most probably.There is still a Monument to be ridden. He doesn't look good enough to win it, but it's Not over until it's Over!
