    Wow so many Nibali haters in the press and on here. Look at him now. What a certified champion.

    And many more to go I reckon...

    With a load of rubbish about how Froome can't cope with cobbles and how unfair it was to ride them and how unfair it was to ride in bad weather conditions etc...... At the end of the day, if you can't ride a bike in bad weather, you don't deserve to win such a demanding race!

    waiting till it's finished I'm afraid...

    Why? No matter what happens old an idiot :wink: wouldn't have this down as an all time classic and misfortune (mechanical or crash) hasn't really paid a part except for Froome.

    Nibali should ride Paris Roubix or Flanders. The way he is riding these cobbles he will be in with a good shout.

    I don't think anybody was saying they shouldn't ride in bad weather...

    Nibs looks like he wants the stage today the way he's riding.

    Boom is such a loser. Suck on these guys the entire way then attack them. Only time in his life he has a chance of winning a classic type race.
