I'll sya here nibali will never ever win another gt. his vuelta win was a fluke and a pathetic one at that. riding velits on 3 minutes after 3 weeks is downright ridiculous to make you win a gt. last years vuelta and giro he was exposed hard. but through luck and great team he stayed on the podium(in giro), remember finestre. same in the giro that basso won. his timetrials and downhil skils are masisvely overrated. he's no where near top itt/gt riders like wiggins, leipheimer, contador, kloden, samu, menchov etc etc his downhils you ask? well show me where he took some masive time on downhils. savoldelli would take up to 3 minutes in some downhils nibali is lucky to get 20 seconds against riders like menchov and other sucky downhillers. in the tour 2009 was he ever dangerous in a downhil against real gt riders with above average downhil skils?? nope

but by all means keep overrating him like everyone does. I had a good time laying him last year for a vuelta win against great odds and will do so again this giro

Ahem, Ryo. Ever going to admit you're wrong about nibbles?

So how do people think the tour squad will look like?

Fuglsang
Brajko
Guardini
Kash
Grivko
Iglinsky

they are all pretty much ready, I would also think Gavazzi and Bozic for Guardinis "train", or perhaps Seeldrayers will get a spot to help Fuglsang/Brajko to a top 10 finish and will Gaspa bother showing up?

Perhaps Kessiakoff will be in the team, yes the Giro was miserabel but atleast he might have picked up some form. Remember he did the Tour/Vuelta-double last year and came out of the Vuelta in a very good form. Since Fuglsang is a very good friend of his, he might do Tour to soppurt the dane. Or have a shot at the Polka Dot.

You better hope Aru stays with Astana. But Italian teams already showing interest, they're desperate to get a gt prospect.

It's weird to me to see Nibali, Aru, Agnoli, Tiralongo, Capecchi, Visconti on kazakh and spanish teams. I really hope cannondale can get a big money italian sponsor to held fund the team, and make a big italian powerhouse like liquigas was.
