Nibali is probably not on 100 percent, yet i dont believe a 100 percent Nibali, will finish on the podium next year if the TDF line up is similar to this year. Time will tell.
We will see. Froome and Quintana are more or less on the same level in the mountains (without the timeloss in the TTs Quintana would have more or less the same GC-Time as Froome in this year's tour)
Nibali is not on that level in the Mountains but he can gain some time on Quintana in the TTs.
So it's basically a question of the route of the GT (how many TT-kms etc.) whether Nibali or Quintana is the 2nd best GT-Stageracer (looking on this years performances) |

Hmm, I think Nibali is at least in Top-3 of stage-racing and Froome & Quintana being the only ones significantly better on climbing
He could definitely have done a podium this year.

Anyone watching the freakshow that is going to follow, just remember: look at it as if it's a comedy show. Because in the end that's what it is.

If we don't laugh, we cry.
I might watch the arsenal game until it gets good.

Ugh. The Swedish commentator defends Horner, saying that he simply has never been given the chance to lead in a Grand Tour before.
I'm not sure I'll be able to stand watching the rest of this stage.

Don't worry. Martins keeps defending him as well, giving basically evey single excuse that people in this forum have said. |

Yep. Horner's new doping program is affecting his brain. That, or he's getting senile because of his age

No, he's just always been very very stupid.
That's not a dig at him, he's genuinely the opposite of smart.

The thing with Horner not being a leader before is absolute bullshit. He was a co-leader for this race, a position in which he was many times before and did sh*t.

Well, if Elissonde win's, at least it's another joy given by a Frenchie. |
