Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

[maxmartin]

Nibali's seems to be doing more trash-talking in the interviews today, especially about Wiggins and Sky according to some reporters. Hilarious. But I'm pretty sure he's noticed something we don't know.

what did he say? Curious.
Meanwhile Clinic about Sky exploded

 

[maxmartin]

He was yelling at someone at the end of the descend in today's stage, but I have no idea what he is talking about.

What did Vino say about him?

Vino did not say anything, he took actions to sign Nibali for next two years

“For me, it’s all about limiting my losses. If I can keep my losses to 1 minute, 30 seconds, I will be satisfied. Anything more than two minutes will make it difficult for me to think about the victory,” Nibali said after the stage.

 

[SafeBet]

Indeed if he manages to limit his gap from Wiggo to 1.30 would be a great result.
It was 3.30 in the Dauphine.
I'm a bit worried

Me too, who knows what kind of "CRAZY" time Wiggins and Froom can produce

 

[TimChristy]

His best shot in picking up time is to go full out kamikaze on stage 10 and 16 decents. Cant see him getting time elsewhere

 

[Eshnar]

Nibali said to Gazzetta Dello Sport what we could have imagined already: he tried to attack twice on the descent, but he had to sit up because no one followed him, and he didn't want to go solo to the finish.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

I like this guy more and more. Astana here we come!

 

[Eshnar]

Maybe he finally realised he needs help to attack from far out

too far away from the finish, if Sagan can be with him things could be different.
Like Tim pointed out 10, 16 probably will be best stages and Nibali said"one wet day in the mountain Wiggin's tour is over"

Obviouly this was the "trash talk" I mentioned earlier.
Gotta love this:

"I don't think the Tour is finished here, and there's no need to be afraid if I have to attack, be it on the climbs, on descents, on the flat. Wiggins has shown that he's very strong in the climbs and in the time trial, and he's come here as the big favourite, but you have to get to Paris first."

Oh yeah, it's a long Tour.

Re: teammates, I agree I haven't been very impressed with Basso and Szmyd. Did they come to the Tour for a nice vacation? I wish Agnoli and Capecchi would have come instead, even tired from the Giro.

I hope Basso and Szmyd are saving energy to help Nibali in key stages in the second and third week.

 

[maxmartin]

Looks like it will be Nibali and Evans fighting for the third place

 

[Parrulo]

great itt from nibs today but still lost lots of time to wiggins.

he will have to do something special on the mountains.

btw where are the people saying nibali could do a top 10 at best in the tour?

Nibali with Liqui, RSNT and Katusha will make this a test for Wiggins/Sky for sure. I am also hoping for some epic days ahead.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Best Nibali ITT ever today.

Hope he can attack the Sky train coming days.
Who would've thought I'd ever had to put my hope into Nibali, Evans and JvdB

I think Nibali will take back a minute on Wiggins on wednesday. Too bad he needs at least 4...
