Vincenzo Nibali

[Havetts]

Seems that "truce of 2008" was blown off for this year, holy crap...

 

[Lanark]

That was just sickening. Completely preposterous.

 

[hrotha]

As much as I love Nibbles, I'm forced to agree.

Although I guess the competition was weak and no one else peaked properly.

 

[TourOfTexas]

Nibbles dancing on the pedals and putting a minute into second place on a 20km course.....yeah.

 

[Netserk]

It's the Vino magic

 

[LaFlorecita]

It's the Vino magic

"Magic" as in "Riis magic"?

 

[the sceptic]

So Nibali isnt doing the tour right? Would be fun to see this new version of Nibali vs the dawg.

 

[Ferminal]

Softpedalling mountain stages is in apparently

Scarponi not the same man he was in 2011 (he is the only benchmark today) but seems pretty clear that Nibali has made significant improvements in the last two winters.

 

[Ripper]

Well today's stage was entertaining. Gloves are off, folks.

Nibs cracks me up.

 

[whittashau]

Can't wait until next years tour. Marginal gains Vs Vino magic

I'm not sure the world could handle that

What is funny is that if this had been Froome, or Wiggins, or Alberto, instead of Nibali, the Clinic would have crashed by now. The public's favorite can't do no wrong I guess.

Or the difference is that no one defends him.

Also steady progression + weak field.

2 days ago it wasn't a weak field Wtf

First, when trying to proof Nibali is better than Alberto; this field is not weak at all!!

Now, when trying to defend him against clinic accusations; this field is weak!!

to the bolded, there are just 7 people accusing him. If this had been Froome the sky and froome thread would both have 100 new replies

 

[Netserk]

The riders who are left are relatively weak (except Nibali ofc) (Nibali would be the only one with a chance to top-5 the Tour).

And when no one defends him, why should everyone mention that he ofc is a doper? I don't think anyone has any doubt about that.

Also note the most important part: Steady progression.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Love that we got a new phrase called "Vino magic"
The far superior magic, compared to the "Riis magic"

 

[The Hitch]

Nibali deserves his own thread.

And has one

http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=8517&page=2

Could a moderator move the discussion there? That way certain trolls wont be able to claim that the clinic hypocrites dont talk about other riders when they go full ***, which Nibali definately went today.

 

[The Hitch]

Hillarious stuff from Nibali today.

Did the Wiggins, Landis celebration too

As a Nibali fan I'll say that I feel there is a better chance of him being clean than Wiggo or Froome, but that's about as far as i'll go.

He has links with Ferrari. No doubt. He is a doper.

The question is when he started. As a pro or before?

 

[whittashau]

Cleaner than Wiggins and the dawg imo. Obviously suspicious though

 

[Benotti69]

Look at all the dots on Astana

[Ferminal]

I'd say he's a lifer, from the first or second year. The end result is always the same even if the paths are often quite different.

 

[hfer07]

Vino just upgraded his "marginal gains" to the next level

Everybody thinks and believes that he is a doper from way before so no one defends him. People sometimes are thick. Or every poster should have a post saying they know he is dirty?
