If Wiggins or Uran were a bit closer to Nibali, i think they could have given him a hard time.... Nibali's Astana team mates seemed to evaporate pretty quickly when Sky turned up the heat.
Nibali must be happy that Wiggins is out of sorts, and that Sky put all their eggs in the Wiggins basket.... Uran looked very strong today. With Sky working for him.... Well, it could have been 'very' interesting.
I still don't fancy Evans... The man is a lion, but i just can't see it happening myself.
