He is making it look a little too easy for my liking.

Not really got any decent rivals now though so its going to look easy. I reckon of froome and contador were still around it would look a lot harder. Nibali has won 2 grand tours before so its not like its a total surprise he is up there doing well.

I'm glad valverde lost time. He must have forgotten to take a blood bag this morning. Hopefully the two young French riders can overtake him and take a podium spot.

G must be fed up of riding into the ground only for his sky team mates to fuck it up. Would like to see him go for the win obcthe tourmalet.

This...hope the cn ut misses out on the podium :evil:
 
23.81km/h vs Quintana's TT speed of 23.56 a couple of yrs ago, and all that after going over the Izoard. Something's amiss I'm afraid.

On the positive side, the battle with Van Garderen, Bardet & Pinot was epic; and then throw in Kwiatowski, Quintana etc, and in 4 or 5 years the GC is going to be so strong.

Maybe, maybe not. Comparing Quintana doing a TT 4 years ago (when he was barely professional) and a stage in the TdF when Nibs was protected for much of the climb, is hardly comparing eggs with eggs. And the ave speed between them was hardly cavernous, compared with, for instance with the 3kph per hour less by Nibs compared to Armstrong on Chamrousse.

I don't know that he is clean. I really hope he is. But what you've presented is not clear evidence one way or another.

Just caught up with it today, my interest has been diluted by the lack of British involvement a bit this year :neutral:

Nibali looking to have the race at his mercy since Froome and Contador has lessened it slightly for me..

Just hoping Valverde doesn't make the podium is my main interest now
