    Nibali hid some fairly big deficiencies in the Astana team. Scarponi was weak, Fuglsang & Westra were excellent in the first week but really weakened as the race went on.
    Kangert was the nearest team-mate, 52 mins back. Fuglsang was over an hour back from that, albeit more bandages than body!
    Having said that, there are similar time gaps in the top riders of several teams, so maybe not that unusual and the end results do not reflect how much work the lieutenants and domestiques do.
