Impressive, and does look fun indeed. What a nice display of various skills.

But that riding makes me remember Scarponi's death in training last year; of course the risks are always present, and champions must train all out , but I do hope that Nibali is always more fortunate.

Nice. And a little fire thrown in there.

Thanks for sharing as he is my favorite rider. (As he is from my grandparents home town).

Yeah, casually bombing blind corners, with your run of the mill alley fire thrown in. So cool how compact all that farm land and development is.

That right turn onto a path coming off the paved road. Methinks he's ridden that before..but very cool...

Actually we don't know who's butt that is on the bike, but damned good rider anyway, and some way fun looking riding for sure. Definitely Italy, no doubt in my head about that

Well, it was posted by Nibali on his instagram account, and looks like Nibali when he checks hi 5 o'clock for cars, and says the video is by antonio nibali. So, strong (perhaps circumstantial) evidence that it is him.

Looks fun but certainly doesn't look at all difficult.

From the Cyclist:
"Nibali joins two of the greats, Eddy Merckx and Felice Gimondi, in being the only riders to have won all three Grand Tours and Milan-San Remo".

Agree. Watching how confidently he picks his line, gotta believe he knows these roads/paths. Regardless, very cool.
