Horner was very appreciative of the way Nibali contested that final climb on stage 20. To me it made his win more significant to achieve it against a rider of Nibalis quality.



And a nice...

You're right it is the least prestigious but it's still a GT.

Well you seem to imply that Horner was a 'big name rider' so I'd suggest Nicholas Roche. He was a support rider in the Tour but in the Vuelta he's the team leader so I'd say doing well in the Vuelta...

I think you have to give Nibali/Astana credit for trying something different rather than following the script of stages 18 & 19. It didn't work but then neither did the old one.

Not unless Nibali totally cracks. Just over a minute on Valverde and just under two on Rodriguez should be plenty. Even less likely that Horner will crack.

I think the top five positions as they...

The coverage of this Vuelta has been superb and in HD. Only on one stage was the coverage hampered by the weather. Almost two hours of live feed.

Horner must be favourite to win after today. Over the last two mountain stages he's taken what? 50 seconds(?) off Nibali. Two more to go. Expect Nibali to put up a fight. Exciting!!!

Barring something unforeseen I don't see anyone beating Nibali. Hope someone has a go though.

If he does go for the TdF next year I doubt he will ride in the Giro.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday are going to be big with lots of mountain top finishes. Maybe not all of them will be won by GC guys but the times and bonus seconds will be crucial.

Glad to see...

Roche may get a top five place. I think he's been top ten in the Vuelta before. Still can't TT and will probably suffer in final week.
