poor nibali. but i like his attacking style very much. never give up. fighting for every second. my absolute favourite now. liked him before but this tour he's riding in my heart
The way to crack Sky I feel is to keep trying it. Not leaving it until the last minute like he did.
Is he some superhuman? His engine doesn't last forever. That's why he chooses in his opinion the best spots to attack. Also Nibali is the one who usually picks his pace and responds to others attacks. It's something new that we have seen from his this year in TdF and Tirreno. |

So in how many years will Nibali be known as the true winner of this Tour de France?

Really can't see Sky getting caught for anything tbh, even if they aren't clean. |

Well, I always thought Armstrong would get away with everything, but now. |

Yeah, what's up with that. It's lovely HD, then all of a sudden a drop in quality.

1-2 from Sky but good effort from Nibali, looking very good for 3rd at least.
You forget tomorrow is another big stage
Looking good not foregone  
Oh see what I wrote there I meant the old 1-2 as in Froome then Wiggins chased Nibali down but guess it's highly likely to be the 1-2-3 too but you never know what might happen tomorrow or even in the TT no matter how unlikely. |

Roche, Van Garderen, Horner, Martin Nice rides for them.
Evans must be peaking for the Vuelta secretly! He figures that'll be where the competition is.

even if I'm Italian and a huge nibali fan that would be a real sad day....hopefully tomorrow wiggins' legs fall off and nibali takes over. on the other hand Froome is on drugs FOR SURE
Marco Pantani Lives!

Since becoming World Champion, Evans seem to have become a much better personality, yes. I remember him in his Lotto time, where he was one of the biggest assholes in the peloton, never thanking his teammates, sometimes aggressive behaviour towards other people. He still can be an ass sometimes, though.

They won't get caught. They hired Leindeert. The same man who managed to hide Michael Rasmussens doping abuse in 2007 where he was never tested positive. He was doped, but Leindeers appears to be an expect in hiding it.
Exactly what UK Postal needed to complete their 5 year plan. |
