Ah yes. Nibali’s win was purely his own forte, had nothing to do with Kruijswijk crashing of course
It had a lot to do with it. But Kruijswijk was in difficulty before he crashed, and you could argue he crashed because he was pushing too hard to stay with Nibali.
I don’t know if I would call it ‘difficulty’, maybe nerves got the better of him when Nibali started to make up time. I think without the crash Nibali wouldn’t have succeeded in beating him. But we’ll never know.
