Nibali Styles Away at Milan San Remo

This was a beautiful attack that started about 8km out. Vincenzo Nibali is one of the most versatile riders in the pro peloton today. He rides with his heart which is a true rarity in modern cycling. He rode the last  7km virtually solo with not much more than 15 seconds at any given time. It was a nail-biter even after I knew that he had won. It didn't seem possible to hold them off when they were so close.

“I like him because he interprets cycling as we used to interpret it in my time,” cycling great Eddy Merckx told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

    Didn’t he switch to Meech this year? Who needs Froome or Sly at TDF.

    Not yet but I'm still working on him. If I can just come up with another $2.5 million we should be able to seal this deal. I'd much rather have Nibali or Aru on one of my bikes than Team Sly. Besides, with any of these guys on a MEECH it kinda blows my whole clandestino thing I've got going on.
