Vincenzo Nibali

[thehog]

surely we are all here voluntarily?

You can check in anytime you like but you can never leave.

 

[Lanark]

You can leave the clinic, but the clinic never leaves you.

 

[Scarlet&Black]

No need to apologize. It's just that the Clinic doesn't have actual incriminating facts, so all circumstantial evidence is interpretated differently, particularly depending on which rider(s) one doesn't like. That's what makes it tough to discuss out here.

Said like a shamefaced penitent before Captain Kirk from one of the Universe's more unruly colonies.

As the great man himself might say: "Play fair chaps, eh?".

Is that a cry for help?

 

[The Hitch]

Welcome to the clinic

He's probably been here before.

You have to give the blood of German Shepard and your soul to the clinic gods.

But you can neve leave.

Ever.

I feel like Puffy Cheeks, just can't leave the stuff alone.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

All off topic and inflammatory.

Nope. Genuine, first-time posters do exist.

Illegal feeds and a fast broadband connection brought me my first real-time Giro immersion and, wanting to gauge people's reaction to it, me to here.

A lurker for all of four weeks.

Off-topic but RAI was superb.

Fam, most of this page is off topic.

^ including this

 

[Zam_Olyas]

only user here off topic appears to be you.

And most of this page had anything to do with Vincenzo Nibali how exactly?

He's a new member of the clinic that's been flamed, obviously.

 

[Parrulo]

Back on topic now

Welcome. Like the avatar.

As for your objection to the Nibali content, the tension here is the same as it's always been. Many of the originals here are skeptical after years and years of pointing out suspicious numbers and performances, and knowing that the truth of many of them came to light and proved them right. In fact, there are several members who came here with your attitude who ultimately saw that much of the negative commentary was actually just reality.

I'm suspicious of Nibali, but not so much that I am willing to invest much time or energy into deciding what I believe about whether he doped. I thought this years Giro was one of the sh*ttiest I have seen in many years for a lot of reasons, Nibali's dominance being one of the factors. If he doped to do it, I hope he will come clean about it and give information about who helped him with his program.

Every single day I wake up and check the clinic - such is my paranoia please oh please not Vincenzo Nibali

I think the moment has passed. Nibali lives to ride another day. For now.

It'll be interesting to see what vayer has been talking about.

Continue doing so for the next month, if nothing surfaces, you can relax.

But I think you can wait until Tuesday, to check this thread again.

 

[taiwan]

Très bientôt, il ne sera plus grand chose, Vincenzo. Qu'il profite.
Very soon he won't be very much, Vincenzo. He should take advantage.

ferrer avec un des bidons du velo de del moral, ca devrait aller.
Ferrer with Del Moral's bike water bottles, that should work.

Legeay pdt UCI ! Aigle transfere dans la Sarthe ! Roger ! Roger ! Roger ! Roger ! Ah si t'étais pas la Roger, ou en serait le velo ?
Legeay president of the UCI. Aigle transferred to the Sarthe (French department in the Loire region)! Roger ! Roger ! Roger ! Roger ! Ah if you weren't there Roger where would cycling be?

Thanks Not a whole lot clearer in english as it turns out. If he or his colleague has a book coming out Friday then I guess that could be the thing that will happen "very soon". Not 100% though.

It's released on Friday. I already have a copy but I'm not allowed to talk about it until then.

ilnostrograndeciclismo has publicized an article about a supposed positive by Nibali at the giro. Shame on them.

Nibbles: they should switch their brains on before talking, so they'd avoid producing farts.
