Write off Nibali at your peril.

Astana have had a stellar season so far, so I’d expect to see Lopez in the mix too. He’s backed by a strong team too, arguably stronger than Mitchelton and Jumbo-Visma.

Would love to see Nibali competing. As an italian friend says, 'he always behaves very correctly'.

In general, the difficulty of the stages, notably the particularly long mountain stages, will probably make for an exciting race. stage 16 is inhuman.

stage 16 is inhuman.

It’s not in isolation. I did the GF Marco Pantani in 2007 or 2008 and it did both the Gavia and the Mortirolo and got round.

It’s what comes before and after that takes it up a few levels.

Was your italian friend being sarcastic?
