Well guys there's still Tour of Turkey next year
Probably just on the real good stuff.As an aside... damn he looks fine in this photo.

"Struggling to get the weight down? Try hospital food"Anesthetics? Race weight accomplished. 0.0007 body fat. LBL could've been in the bag.

good to see. good face color despite ...the food (ibidem, Red Rick "food observations")
After all he didn't break a femur and, luckily, the toll on his body and mind should be lesser.
only a small hole in the bag.....
So the trophy cabinet was stashed rent free in Alaphilippes head all this time.The bag will be fixed with some screws. As for that Fleche, Alaphilippe wasn't quite happy when he crossed the line first, he thought Nibali won. True.

"I was not afraid of losing and I was not afraid of winning. I am only afraid of the face that stares back at me in the mirror"Well there was a time, not so long ago when riders were a bit afraid of Nibali, he had that aura of unpredictability.
Plottwist.
Antonio is secret translator.
Also I see it's the left hand, which isn't as was reported, and now I have to resist the urge to make that lame pun.
Just watched some old highlights from the Ardennes races and I honestly feel like it's a pity he won't be there. I don't think he could have got a win there but he has so often initiated the moves that made those races. Remember a few years ago when a break initiated by Nibali almost managed to pull off a late breakaway win in FW, if not for Lotto who pulled them back in order for Wellens to get destroyed on the Mur. Still salty about that. He wouldn't have won that race anyway, but I don't care. Nibali in one day races is just always a joy to watch.
"It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with. It doesn't feel pity of remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. "Terminator who?
It does have a nice ring to it but the only thing I ever want to read after "Robo" is "Basso""It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with. It doesn't feel pity of remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. "
Robosqualo sounds better to me, but whatever.
Rmemver when Mama Nibali said it just wasnt the same without VincenzoIt does have a nice ring to it but the only thing I ever want to read after "Robo" is "Basso"
Also all this talk reminds me of this gem:
I suppose this foreshadows the surprising battle for the giro win between mecha Vincenzo and mega Antonio?
Stop all the bag nonsense, he'll fill yours too when he come back. Suddenly had the urge to rewatch all his big wins - and some losses - today (I skipped 2014 Tour though), and boy isn't Vincenzo a champion? San Remo will always be my favorite, along with that Mosquera time, but I have to admit the Angliru showdown with Horner which was not pleasing when live is kind of funny now.
