I remember last year he had also a bad day the last climbers stage, what happened to Kreuzinger or Henao can also happen to our orange hero. And then there's also this TT, this definetely is his weak point. However, not a bad word about this brave Euskaltel rider. After what he showed today (and in the past), he is simply one of the best and most attractive riders of the whole peleton. It's almost tragic Euskaltel doubted to give him a new contract at the end of 2010. Sometimes I have the feeling the team doesn't know the capacity of its riders. Give this man a contract until 2016 at least, now!Kristofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35441987.post-86344124359722044902012-05-23T20:45:56.764+02:002012-05-23T20:45:56.764+02:00He was sooo close to gapping on the Giau.
Valiant...He was sooo close to gapping on the Giau.<br /><br />Valiant effort and brilliant display nonetheless from Nieve.<br /><br />@Kristof: top 10 is still definite possibility. HE'S proved he is one of the top10 climbers going now in the Giro and the 7 riders ahead of him are all only 1 minute up.<br /><br />Tiralongo, Henao, and Cataldo all lost time today (and probably will continue to), and Nieve proved he can ride away from Tschopp, de Gendt, Cunego, and Moreno (even after going solo for 30-40k). <br /><br />Definitely would have been with the top 6 without the earlier exertion in the stage.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036637981108756568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35441987.post-46314036932694714382012-05-23T20:08:44.060+02:002012-05-23T20:08:44.060+02:001.170

Fantastic rider this Nieve, allthough top 10 becomes almost impossible now. Maybe a bit too much confidence in the team today but they show their shirts.Kristofnoreply@blogger.com
