I wouldn't write him off. Have you seen his trophy cabinetFifty-fifty seems overly ambitious. Even without his crash I would have estimated his chances on a podium quite slim. I just hope he can show his old self a couple of times and battle for a stage victory.
Have you seen Merckx' trophy cabinet? I also wouldn't expect him to win the Giro if he participated.I wouldn't write him off. Have you seen his trophy cabinet
This will relieve some burden from Froome's thread50% chance of podium. 10% chance of win. 100% chance that this thread is going to be the g spot of the forum.
They've taken it to a new level in the Froome thread. Comparatively, the Nibali thread is full of realists.This will relieve some burden from Froome's thread

Vincenzo when everyone suddenly was faster than himI got you bro.
Glad Vincenzo is able to participate, after all as Sam Gamgee once said: It’s thejobrace that’s never started as takes longest to finish.
Same for me, especially that he’ll be there for the he Montalcino strada stage!I'm just happy to hear he will ride. But... if he somehow wins it, Trek will need an even bigger boat to carry the most beautiful trophy in existence.

I'm fully expecting him to leave a mark on the Giro by winning Milano-Sanremo again. Don't ask me how will he do it.Vincenzo Nibali, The Shark of the Strait, Lord of the Bags:
"It's useless and impossible to say if I'll look at the general classification or aim for a stage victory. I want to try to leave a mark on the Giro, but only along the way will I understand how to do it."
I'll be honest LOTR memes do make me sad GT teams are no longer 9 riders.~Vincenzo BAGgins
