Maybe this is where the term "you old bag" comes from

P.S. I wish I was as young as Nibali.

 

[gregrowlerson]

BTW, the bag that I found kept multiple pins that were inserted into a doll; a doll that looked suspiciously like a knucklehead.

at least the doll doesn't look like Froome!

When will Nibali retire? I cant wait until I dont have to watch him in the Giro anymore! Celebrations starts x.

Trofeo Senza Fine, it never ends.

Maybe at some point where he can only get podiums in the races he used to be able to win.

Oh, wait.

I wish for a world where Danish Nibali and Valverde fans can put aside their differences and unite in support of Fausto Masnada.

Meanwhile I am a fan of all three riders, particularly the two Italians, and am wondering what all the arguing is about.

You are a strange and pretty negative guy.

But are you Danish?

 

[topcat]

Nibali doesn't speak Danish, English or bollox.

Wins Sanremo

Journo: "English?"

Nibali: "No"

I have no problem with Nibali at all, it was merely a response to Netserk out of the blue just feeling like dropping a very similar post in the Valverde-thread with the sole intent of being provocative. Strangely enough, nobody really cares about that on this forum, because you know, its Valverde. Double standards

Thank goodness I don't have to wait to use Ignore......

Daniel Day-Lewis in Liege at the premiere of his new movie "La Redoute".

Will our dear Squalo find another unexpected pearl this Sunday? Yes, he sure will!

He was building form in the Giro della Sicilia, but it remains to be seen, given his less than ideal buildup thus far, if he can be in the run for the win. Still, wherever he is on Astana with Beppe the magic happens. With Pogacar out, the race opens up a bit more, but there are still Alaphilippe, Van Aert, perhaps Evenepoel, among others to contend with.

Realistically there is zero chance if it comes down to RoF which is most likely what will happen. This doesn't mean that I'm not still dreaming of a an epic sprint finish between Nibali and Evenepoel after they sneak away on La Redoute.

Vino and another Kazakh dude seem to have some expectations for today.

I think Vincenzo only chance is that he makes it over the Rauche ou Faucons at the back of the select group and then attacks the group in the rolling sections or downhill afterwards. But even this is extremely unlikely. Just would be happy to see him at the front of the race.

Vincenzo was today 30th in Liege. On paper, an average result. But last time he finished 30th on Liege, he went on to win the Tour de France in July by almost 8 minutes.

It's not the same thing.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Was he involved in the big crash?

If so, it's strange that the RAI commentators (who were the worst amongst those they have to choose from) made no mention of it.
