.MASSHOLE.Anyone watching this 30 for 30 on Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault? It is pretty sweet.

Man, Nibali has been incredibly strong this tour. Hasn't given anyone else even a sniff of the yellow jersey. Even if Froome and Contador hadn't had to abandon, I think they would have had a really, really hard time getting rid of Nibali in the mountains.

Yep. Nibali killed it again. It was impressive to watch. I am excited for the TT. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are all up for grabs still

with port sick froome would of had a tough time. but a contador vs. nabali matchup would have been pretty good especially with both the astana and tinko teams riding well.
