He still has more wins than second places.
Toby, I love you, but if you were a fish then we'd all be the world's greatest fishermen.

I know.
It's still such a lame narrative you're pushing, though, but Nibali has sadly become a meme on this forum which his thread clearly shows. I don't really know why I got into the thread at all, a place I usually avoid.
Why sadly? This place is fun if you don't take it seriously.I know.

What these guys are posting is dead serious though, and people are obviously gonna react to posts on this topic if youre invested it in... whats the point about the forum anyways?Why sadly? This place is fun if you don't take it seriously.
I don't think more than 2-3 posters are dead serious in this thread, but ok I don't wanna stop anybody from having discussions here.What these guys are posting is dead serious though, and people are obviously gonna react to posts on this topic if youre invested it in... whats the point about the forum anyways?
The point of the forum is obviously to be excited about watching races and then go back to armchair psychoanalysis on posters we disagree with about riders who don't even know we exist.
No.Hardly. If people were slamming Masnada unreasonably, you wouldn't be up in arms in two seconds?
There are fans of both riders.This is the Nibali thread. Don't mention the V word. There are several threads dedicated to Valverde. Nibali and Valverde are friends. I dream of a world where Nibali fans and Bala fans are friends too.

Who are the 2-3 serious posters in this thread? There's always a few who just want to be different.
Look, soon we will celebrate 11 years since this thread was started by a member who is long gone from around here. After following for some years I decided to join this forum during the Giro in 2013 mostly because I felt that Nibali will win that Giro from an underdog position against Mighty Wiggo and The Sky Train. Not very popular opinion then.
During the following almost 10 years he reached the highest highs and some real lows. We were dead serious, Nibali was dead serious in his sport. But things change, as we grow older so is Vincenzo Nibali. While the effect on him gradually translated in a lack of meaningful successes, we became somewhat euphoric, drunk on the past glory of our favorite rider as we discovered our sense of humor oppressed by so many years of being dead serious. It's like we're trying to have the best fun just before the inevitable end of something that we hold dear.
Thread is barely twice as big as Evenepoels.....Underrated?.. Surely not on this forum, no.
I bought a bag because of Nibali. That's how popular he is.

But what was in it?
