On the Nibali doubters, he was 36 seconds down on last Saturday's stage, which shows his form was thereabouts. He lost time on Sunday partly because he had to change bikes, then had a bad day on Tuesday after the rest day. All the talk about his form is due to the fact that the Italian media expected him to win the race at a canter, as the only one of the Big 4 riding the race. They do love a polemica during the race so created one.
He is traditionally good in the final week of a GT, so it's no surprise that he's come good when it matters.
