This is the Deep Section, a cycling blog which celebrates style, burns fools and praises the sport's hardmen.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again… The Italians have the most hilarious translations of their quotes, “I had a muscular problem ” lol!:
“We worked because we were thinking about the stage, but unfortunately, I had a muscular problem and I couldn’t pedal very well,” Nibali explained afterwards. “My calf was hurting and I wasn’t able to be as agile as I would have liked. This morning when I got on the bike I felt this small problem and I just hoped it wouldn’t get any worse.”
