Why are they playing Guns N Roses Paradise City? Does Nibali want to go down to Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty?
I guess that's where Astana gets the product. 
I love the Italian races, they play some pretty odd music during the Giro aswell

To be fair to Rosa, he has been riding super in the Giro and the Vuelta, topping it all off with some fantastic one day races in the ladder part of the season. I dont find that particularly suspect
Im hoping he gets a slightly bigger role next year and gets to sit on the wheels of Tira and Cataldo. |

Valverde is now more than 200 points above 2nd on the WT, Joaquin Rodriguez, with Nairo rounding the podium out.
Incredible, alltho I was disappointed in Valverde not covering Nibali on the descent, but it was kinda obvious he is gassed by now... and dude will go to Abu Dhabi regardless and probably racing for the win as usual. |

It has been a massive season as per usual from Piti, considering the Tour he had then following it with another GT plus other races it's no surprise he couldn't match Nibali today. I'm no fan but cheesus the guy just keeps on keeping on

Very dissapointed none of Froome, Quintana or Contador are here. Their best ever chance to win a Monument
How would it be their best chance to win a monument? None of them would be in the shape to finish top 10.
It's their only chance to ever win a monument. Should've peaked for this.
This course really is incredibly hard.
True class by Nibali his last month and also true class by Valverde still being up there in this race after such a season.

Last year, he crashed in the last corner in one of the chasing groups.

Nibali joins Valverde and Cunego in the current riders who have won both a monument and a GT.
A club I think very high off.

It's an impressive feat i'll give you that, shame it's two of the 'old guard' if you know what i mean. Shame Andy retired and Di Luca got busted. Could have had 5 dope-heads grouped together

It still said it was impressive, winning is winning when its all said and done.
Just that it's not exactly the best club to be part of when you consider the names in it and their histories (Three Bans (one is a life-time ban), One rider at the dirtiest team of the last 10 years, One who's bro doped when the two were inseperable, and Cunego)

None of them have ever ridden for Sky though?
