Re: Vuelta 2018 Stage 12:Mondoñedo - Faro de Estaca de Bare

Lots of people are saying the technical finish will suit Nibali but I disagree. I don't think he will want to take any risks less than a month away from the biggest goal of his season just like he didn't take any risks on the final descent in stage 20 of the 2016 Tour de France only a month away from the Olympics.

Nibali safe is still relatively fast, but yeah he'll only win if he gets away uphill.

That is some pretty technical descending on narrow roads right toward the finish today

I love this stage, great racing, great cat&mouse. The cherry on top would be if Gebrezgabihier wins.

And I don't think he will get away. His face still looks like he is not exactly enjoying going uphill.

I'd say this won't come back together. One of the riders from the first two groups will win.

Meh, I really wanted to know what Nibali can do here but it's game over.

This certainly can launch him into a top 10 finish since he has had some success riding GC before
