Good ride by Nibs, he was pretty much forced to go 18 odd kms out as no-one wanted to work with him, so he took his chances and it almost worked out. I still say he should be doing the Giro..............but "oh well".!

Superb break by Nibs. Did you see his bike handling on the descents - wow?

 

What a win by Iglinskiy.

 

Astana 1 and 3.

And another win last week. Team in baby blue doing well.

 

Superb race!

Yeah, he is surely one of the best on the descents.

 

Sorry he couldn't hold on for a win, but no disgrace, it was just a 1000m too far.

Just read that Iglinskiy thought he'd be racing for second when he dropped Rodriquez, but then saw Nibali was struggling when he caught him and went for it. Great ride. Iglinskiy credited a Vino's phone call before the race for giving him the idea that he could win it.
