Symbolic View of Vincenzo Nibali
The photo below tells the whole story. This is the view all the other riders have had of No. 41 Vincenzo Nibali throughout this Tour de France - just his backside! (Notice the glimpse of his Yellow Jersey, and his number just above the rear wheel.) Barring an accident, he will maintain his lead for one more day of climbing in the Pyrénées. And then, there is no way he's going to lose 6 minutes or more to any of his rivals in the time trial on Saturday. He might as well accept the invitation to dine with the Italian Prime Minister, and not keep him waiting until Sunday for an answer.

It was a great Tour. Even though the yellow jersey was not in doubt since the first day in the Alps. The intrigue with TeeJay, Andrew, the white jersey, and the polka dot jersey was delightful.
ReplyDeleteI missed your tour commentary this year with its fun insight. But I am glad that you were able to see the riders pass by on one stage. Too bad you missed the procession of the sponsors; that sounds like it would also be fun.
