For our new series "Cycling Interviews" we might have the chance to ask Vincenzo Nibali some questions.
So you have 1 week (until next Friday) to ask questions we will pick the best ones out, as every single question would be simply too much, and send them back.

What would it mean to you to join the list of illustrious riders to win all 3 Grand Tours?

You've done pretty well at the cobbles at le Tour and you're one of the best bike handlers in the world. Do you think you could go for the northern classics one season? |

After the fifth stage of the Tour de France everybody was furious about the performance of Astana. Earlier in the season there was even talking about you riding the Ronde Vlaanderen to train for this stage, which, in the end, you did not. How did you prepare for this stage and why did it work out so well in your opinion?
(I know, kinda long question)

You have been crowned as our favourite cyclist last year and have come second this year: What's your explanation for your extraordinary popularity, especially with cycling enthuasists?
(Somebody with some awesomess photoshop skills maybe can make a picture of him being crowned King of Daily or so hihi  )
How would you rate currently the cycling scene in Italy? On what aspects, can it be improved upon? Do you think passion for cycling notably decreased compared to last decade; if so, why's that?
What's your favourite italian climb and what's your favourite Climb outside of Italy, and why so?
Fabio Aru recently made quite some huge steps by finishing podium on the Giro: How do you think you helped him achieve that feat? Where do you think lie his strenghts, and do you see him as a strong future rival, for example if he switches teams?
Vinokurouw and you are famous for your attacking at all parts of a race: What's your favourite attack of Vino? And what's your own favourite attack that didn't work out in the end?
Have you ever considered doing Cyclo-Cross for the fun of it? With those bike handling skills of yours, you'd be surely a good bet.
After Tour stage 5, how would you rate your cobblestone/northern terrain skills, on a scale with Cancellara being 10?

I understand that you grew up with Moser as one of your heroes. What is your favourite moment in his career?

You obviously can handle a race of 250 km, and now you displayed some decent cobbles skills as well. Are you interested in trying a few cobbled classics next season?
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

How it is/was to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France?
In your cycling carrer, for the future, what's the race you want to win the most?
What's your favourite race of the calendar? |

Out of interest, when do you think he will answer the questions, before or after the tour finishes?

I doubt he would answer them during the Tour, and if he happens to win it is likely they won't be answered at all. |

I am sure that he understands that keeping us all happy here on PCM Daily is more important than winning a small stage race  |

Did you feel any pressure during the Tour after Froome and Contador abandoned, knowing you were the best GC rider left in the race?

Which GT's parcours do you feel most comfortable riding with your style, having ridden (and maybe won) them all as a leader?
