Zeke gets it!!!

OMG, that was so close. Mosquera over the line by 1 metre?

Deserved final victory by Nibali

This was really something else. I still don't like him though

Great ending!
Congraturations Nibali!

 

[Zoncolan]

Purito on podium?

 

[Highlander]

Well he may have lost the race, but at least Mosquera did take the stage and solidified his 2nd place. I wonder if Rodriguez will get enough time on Vellits?

 

[The Hitch]

Congratulations Nibali. I see many gts coming his way after the way he did this climb.

 

[Mellow Velo]

What a .........er........finish.
"oh, that's it?"
Does that make Nibali the equal best climber?

 

[Christomir]

Is it 1 sec or same time?

 

[goggalor]

OMG Mosquera punctured on that line on the road!!!

Oh... that was the finish line?

 

[Publicus]

Great ride by Nibbles. He really gutted that out.

I saw it coming...

Not sure you can say he really deserved it considering I don't think there's any way he would have beat Anton if he hadn't crashed out. True he was the best of the rest but he never attacked and basically got the win gifted to him by Anton crashing out and Rodriguez imploding in the ITT.

"And Nibali... where did you find the strength...."?

"Well, I kept getting this texts from this ACF geezer, who pointed me to an online forum where this Dutch DT Dude kept piling on the doubt... Decided to serve some humble pie. Enjoy."

No, that was still Igor Anton

 

[cocteau_ireland]

one fine fine example of pacing urself under serious pressure

 

[Spare Tyre]

Great battle. I didn't expect Nibali to tough it out like that. Props.

I have no problem with Nibali, but I would have liked to see Mosquera get his GT win.

Epicly overhyped stage, first 10 within a minute at the finish.

Yeah, think of the fireworks we could have been treated to here with a 3-some!

You have some balls you know that. to still be posting on this thread even 1 second after Nibali comes 2nd on the Bola and wins the Vuelta by being the best climber (other than Anton).

Put it in the second week and you will see a carnage. The favourites have finished the Vuelta really tired, everyone was toasted the last week

You are insane. That was one of the races of the year.

damn- I though Eze was going to die in the finish line---hard to swallow, but Nibali deserves the title--great battle nonetheless
