Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

[Red Rick]

Taiwan KOM Challenge, a climb of some 80 Km, already in the bag.

I wish races like that were a bigger thing.

Is this your hope and expectation?

Wish. I have no hope or expectations here.

 

[lenric]

Others have bags full of immaterial stuff like hopes and expectations. Nibali's bag is full of trophies and foreign tears.

"Nibali has troubles with everyone, and everyone has troubles with him. Sometimes he comes next to you and talks, but the next day he can walk past you without saying anything. Of course, he knows what he does: he does it consciously"

In other words, he is an absolute pr!ck.

what a shocker.

that has been clear for years. Basically, in everything he does (hanging on to his team car at 60 mph) and says (come see my trophies).

If only nibali and valverde would just eff-ing retire already. And good riddance.

I was thinking at least 500-1 just from the 2011 crash, his age, lack of results and racing, he said he was retiring, and how random the Olympics are. We need to find who bet on him.

Actually his odds were 50-1 according to this article

2012 Summer Olympics Cycling Odds – Men’s Road Race: Cavendish Favored

Eventhough he was 38 and going to retire, towards the end of that tour he was showing a little bit of form when in the breakaways, plus just because of his track record, he wouldn't get an extremely long odds. His name would attract betting, especially since he was the big name riding for his country. They wouldn't want to give him osmething like 150-1 or more odds because then every Kazakh that be interested in betting would have betted on him

Yeah odds move not based on actual chance but on betting traffic, etc in order to mitigate losses.

Nibali needs to be *** in the first part of next season, then show signs of life in the Ardennes coming in top 20 in both FW and LBL and then win an Olympic medal. Then goes missing in action for the rest of the season till the 2022 Ardennes campaign when he wins LBL. That would be a true Vino order of events. His Sanremo win was already a victory in the style of Vino. He would then become the right successor of the Vino option, we should call it "The Bag" option.

Nibali likes to laugh at other people's misadventures even outside of races.

See, I've been saying that Ulissi is a bad descender for a long time.

I love the way he says to Pozzovivo: "HEY POZZO GIVE HIM THE HEALTHY ARM".
That's very devilish ahah!

Not sure if this would be super kewl or if he'd end up domestique in the Ineos train.
If second, then please no no no no

 

[BlueRoads]

I'm glad you're just thinking about that button. I thought a jump of a cliff may become an option.

Anyway, that talk of Pinarello is nonsense of course. They are just trolling you.

 

[pastronef]

please please please I want this to happen. Nibs with Ineos. wow. please!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Typical Beppe Conti BS. If it was 5 years ago then I could see Pinarello pushing for him, but not at the end of his career...

aww, have they both done nasty things to your favourite riders?

Could be a coy move on both sides if for instance he took on an ambassador role after retirement.

Could we just have everyone settled for 2021 before we start speculating about what teams they're gonna be on for 2022? Okay?

you are right, but dear me, the thought of Nibs with that jersey goes beyong my wildest, and stupid, dreams. just for the tweets, just for the posts on here. wow

 

[Bolder]

Maybe a transition to a DS role?

 

[Big Doopie]

nope. project much?

they are just creeps, same as contador and vino. sooner cycling gets rid of them all, the better.

cheers.
