If you're Nibali
does the gap matter as much as saving your legs for the last climb? I admire the effort but he was one of the guys the new course actually favored in the finale.

I never thought of Nibs as an explosive climber,
I don’t think he would ever have one from a sizeable group coming into the last climb
Gap down to 29 seconds
