    Big hat off to Nibali though. On the attack on the hills, on the cobbles, and in the Alps. And likes one day races. What's not to like

    Now let's wait for the inevitable 50m sprint from Valverde...

    Anybody still think Contador or Froome would have matched this Nibali?!

    Yes I'd say so

    Contador would have been ahead of Nibali pretty comfortably.

    Nibs took 10 secs out of Konig who had been on his own for a lot longer.

    Pretty sure Contador would have been smoked Nibali.

    I think that's what the bar slap was about.


    I doubt Valverde has one friend in pro cycling. Even his team will be thinking that they could be working for the in if Quintana was in the team.

    Good effort from the pairing according to Eurosport. My arse. Good effort from Konig.

    Same for Pinot and Valverde.

    I think Nibs would have won this whatever. Really impressive performance.

    At least Froome and Contador avoided the kicking that Nibali would surely have given them had they been 'ard enough to get this far.

    Even though the race for the overall is long since over. I am still enjoying this Tour.

    Nibali really impressive.

    Odds on Porte not to start tomorrow or finish tomorrow?

    Surely Piti could have limited his losses if he hadn't saved himself for his 4th place sprint?

    Congrats to TJ - Good ride. And massive congrats to Pinot. Just hope he can keep his head together for the descents...

    No need for that. People on here are claiming the opposite, that Nibali would have beaten Bertie and Chris, also without evidence. Why not attack those?

    Thomas leading Porte home. Does make you wonder if they'd been better off backing G?
