Barguil <3 <3 
And I just hope Horner loses time... seriously, Nibali might not be clean, but I'd rather have him than Horner winning...  |

I hope Nibali has better form after rest day because with advantage of 22s, he will get smashed by Horner if not careful. |

Horner on Armstrong and the chance of getting a TdF place last year - he "mysteriously" made the team after this...https://blogs.bettor.com/Chris-Horner-...se-a163187

I know a guy who can beat Froome, and he doesn't have to sit in saddle once he starts sprinting up the mountain.
Anyway jokes apart, Nibali said he would be coming to form in 3rd week and this is 3rd week and he got dropped. |

Lets hope it was a bad day or he didn't eat enough or some such and that normal service will be resumed after the rest day. |

Nibali had a chance to kill everyone off in the rain on the Gallina. He'll have a very hard time holding off Horner on the steeper ramps of Pena Cabarga and Angliru.
Should still be 3 more exciting mountain stages!

Barguil, what an amazing finish!
And Nibali, after the rest day he should be ok again. |

Hopefully recovery comes to play for Horner or Nibali will have serious problems on Angliru. |

It's pathetic. The only reason he is suddenly in such good form is that he needs a contract for 2014

This is just like Cobo 2011. I don't want to say it, but I can already see Horner speeding up the Angliru, except he will never sit down in the saddle. |

Well...I guess most of you are thinking that he is cheating...But he has not raced so many big races as others GC contenders...Despite he is 41 years old, and in unbelievable form like this, it doesnt mean he has to cheat...Age is not always the most important factor in case of winning any GrandTour |

Thing is Horner has never been a real GC contender (best performance 9th place in Le Tour). And now at 42 he suddenly is. Talking about a late bloomer...

And you just cannot say the field is weak, for sure he would finish inside the top-10, but fight for the overall win? Nah. I'd like to see Voigt do it, we know Voigt, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't get close to a top-10. |
