So barring something catastrophic, safe to say that Nibali is going to win?

You are right it is for the top 15. I was using the wrong end of the start sheet for reference.

So Cadel's actually dropping non trivial time to Uran Uran here...
Edit : He lost 1 min 10 to Uran Uran - 10 secs or so between 2nd & 3rd now.

It's a shame that speculation is so often the first place that people go to. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, it's warranted.
Superb Tour from Nibbles, and I sincerely hope it was legit.

+1 to all that.

I very much hope it's legit too because I have loved the way Nibali has ridden this year, but the look on Sanchez's face as Nibali crossed the line looked more like he didn't believe how much he'd been beaten by, not just like a man who had been beaten...
He has improved dramatically since joining Astana and this Giro is a real contrast to the Tour last year but then again he has been improving and he is reaching that age when most GC contenders really come to maturity.
For the moment, I'll believe the best, I have no inclination to be like one of The Clinic Clowns.

I agree with all of that, and I too am believing the best.
I don't want to be a 'Cynic Clown', but I'm a relative new comer to pro-cycling and reading both recent and older histories makes it difficult.

What I think is that he is a man in the form of his life, and everything has come together perfectly for him this year and particularly in this GT, rather in the same way that it did for Wiggins last year.
