I don't think Nibbles meant this. He is that good on descents he simply pulled away |

Yeah, he has my heart this year, Liquigas best team so far

Nibali going for a long one? Well, that's convinced me to switch a feed on.

Valverde "You go back, deal"
Nibali "Deal"

Nibbles: If i attack later on would you help me upfront
Piti: Yes, but only if you drop back to peloton
Nibbles: Ok, Deal
Piti: Deal |

+1 I already liked him before, but he won a lot of my sympathy with this years tour, too bad he isn't an even better timetrialist |

Hope it ia, Valverde attacks and Nibali goes with him. Nibali gains time and Valverde wins stage. Eveyone is happy. |

I expected a battle between Voeckler and Kessiakoff, but didn't expect both of them to be able to take the breakaway, after yesterdays efforts.

The KOM battle usually gets to be reasonably fun on the final mountain stage.

I will be sad to see him leaving Liquigas, hopefully they will get Kreuziger instead of him.

Yup I guess it will make the whole stage quite interresting; the gap is only of 6points between them (I think).

Than he will be beaten by Froomey and Wiggo by 2 minutes in TT, but Nibali is great fighter, at least he tries (well i hope he will try later again).

Also dont forget there are 6 categorised climbs in the last two road stages. Four of category4 and two of category3, so this battle can last to the last stage.
