Beat Froome, Contadors boy, and a 41 year oldSee, he doesn't only win stage races when Froome or Contador aren't racing...
The regret to not see him ride the wet Roubaix increases considering he looks the better Nibali in two years.
I calculated and this means at least 7 W/kg on CiviglioAnd the numbers are in, courtesy @ammattipyoraily
#girodisicilia, Stage 4
SCIARA DI SCORCIAVACCA (6.46 km, 7.82 %, 505 m)
Vincenzo Nibali: 17:06, 22.67 Kph, VAM 1772 m/h, 6.4 W/kg (est.)
I calculated and this means at least 7 W/kg on Civiglio
In all seriousness, it's really good that while this is a 2.1 win, it's also a strong one. Maybe the Giro ain't in the bag just yet, but it gives great hopes for good form in the remaining fall classics.
Now if Vino knows how to deal with a rider who takes 15 months in a year to hit top shape that would be nice.
Don't forget Froome!Best he's looked since Val Thorens TDF stage win. Difficult to say what this performance means for Il Lombardia (in the bag), but it was nice to see him, Valverde and Bardet battle each other on the climbs like it's 2014.
Only a performance of which when Antonio wins the triple in 2025, we point at this and say this is when we could've known.So I didn't miss much did I?
Or better when the Shark wins next Saturday and I won't be watching it you point at this and say SafeBet really is the new Gigs.Only a performance of which when Antonio wins the triple in 2025, we point at this and say this is when we could've known.
Then we'll make sure your wife never lets you near a television during Il Giro againOr better when the Shark wins next Saturday and I won't be watching it you point at this and say SafeBet really is the new Gigs.
