Grazie Lo Squalo. When I think about Nibali the first thing that comes up to my mind is not associated with cycling: he was born on exactly the same day (and year) as me. Most living cycling memory is probably his victory on snowy Tre-Cime climb. His Giro quest is over but he's not done with cycling yet!
Congrats old man!
He was born when I was in High School!Don't make this personal guys
He was born when I was in High School!
Don't underplay it. Nibali was making angry Italian hand gestures that Armstrong should be taking his turns damnit.Yeah, Nibali, Valverde and Gilbert will ride into the sunset, this autumn…
End of an era. These guys even still raced against Lance Armstrong, aka The Greatest of all time.
Nibali won the Tour de France - whatever happens in his future life, he already won the most important bike race on earth.

The Shark's Bite in Valdobbiadene!
Nibali wins the Cycling Stars Criterium
ahead of Cavendish and Ciccone
Nibali attacked at -3 laps from the end, he immediately escaped and for the others there was nothing to do: at 1000 meters from the finish he still had about ten seconds of advantage that allowed him to conquer the Cycling Stars Criterium.
