Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

[Red Rick]

nope. project much?

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

cheers.

Shouldn't you hate this Evenepoel guy cause he rode Remco off a *** bridge.

Lefevre should sue that guy.

I'm trying to imagine the last 15 years of cycling without Contador, Nibali and Vino.
And it's not pretty.

Cheers.

Oi would you look at that button @gregrowlerson

When he helps Rohan Dennis wear yellow onto the Champs, we bid our forum farewell.

well, not Dennis, but Nibs helping Bernal or Tao or Sivakov in yellow, well, that´s something I didnt dare imagine. it would just be beautiful.

As if the best all round cyclist of the last ten years would finish his career as a grovelling gregario at Ineos. Good one. Giro and Olympics next year and maybe another season at Trek.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Nibali going to Ineos is like the ultimate troll move, it would at least be in character.

 

[gerundium]

alright, here's a fun one with the INEOS speculation and 2022 looming: Should Vicenzo retire if he wins the Olympics?

With the Giro showing of this year, i think the GT winning shape won't be there anymore. Winning the ORR after his Rio crash 4 years ago would make a great swan song and narrative.

 

[pastronef]

if he wins the Olympics surely Pinarello would have a golden bike ready for 2022

I don't entirely cut him out for having a chance to win a GT. This year so strange, Some are saying the younger generation is emerging, but you could argue that it was just as much it was far easier you the youth to be to handle the revolving schedule. It probably easier to build to a peak quicker for a younger rider then an older one. I do agree that the odds for Nibali to win looks long, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Outside of the Olympics, I think he still wants a couple more shots at LBL as well. and a chance to add another MSR or Lombardia.

The above would be the only reason I could see him going to Ineos. If they say we want you to be a domestique deluxe for the GT and we will allowing you min. co-leadership at the above Classics, and of course what would be a final Big Pay check that Ineos could offer. IT wouldn't shock me a contract for his brother at Ineos would also be part of the agreement as well.

 

[McEwen2006]

Nibali will target the overall win at the Giro, maybe a couple of stage wins at the Tour if he even rides/finishes it (which is doubtful at this point) and then try to get that gold medal in Tokyo. If he just wins the Giro I'll take it though !

 

[Ivan_Basso_77]

Any major win this year would be much appreciated after what happened in the last Giro. First, let's see the Giro parcour and then may the great man prepare himself best and rip everyone else to splinters.

I see that the hype train has left early this year

 

[SafeBet]

13th on a punchy finish in early February.
Tickets for the hype train soon to be sold out.

Are the tickets transferable once Remco makes his first start?

Bag it and tag it.

Yes. But not for all of us.

A captain goes down with his ship.

That is after we figure out who the captain is obviously.

 

[Nirvana]

He's going to use a doll if needed or maybe the last year's one was enough even for this year.

 

[johnymax]

Milano-Sanremo and Giro in the bag.

 

[Climbing]

It's happening!

 

[Carols]

Santa thought I was a good girl last year .
This year I want a Nibali signed 2021 Giro winning jersey!

There are no words to describe my jealousy

"What do you do when you wake up to win a jersey signed by Sagan?

Go back to sleep and hope I wake up the next day to win a jersey signed by Lo Squalo"

 

[Rollthedice]

Change of plans, he'll ride UAE Tour. The return of The Bag, late February edition.

 

[Rollthedice]

Maybe the first decent TT since with Trek. It will be a hot spring.
