Nibali, Contador, Basso, Pozzo live on
twitch right now
Seen it. As usual some nice talk between the greats, Contador had to leave early. Basso is talking like a team boss that he is and of course they touched the 2010 Giro. Nibali was supposed to ride the Tour and was "on the beach" when he got the call to come and help Basso. Nice memories, making fun of Basso's descending and remembering Scarponi.
Basso says nowadays you can't go in a race if not at 100%, even for less important ones. You can't ride into shape, it will only bring tiredness and pain. Preparation has become very important. Contador remembered that in the old days there were just a few teams on Teide, at one point before Tour 2014 there were Nibali, Froome and Contador during the same time. Now you have to book a training camp there with more than a year in advance.
Pozzo and Nibs say this Vuelta is very fast, it drains you. In the old days there were maybe the last two hours when things got heated. Nibali is not in a good shape, same with Pozzo who got wrecked by Covid in the summer.
