Nibali to play the wrecker for Horner's Tirreno hope

Monday's second place finish on the penultimate stage of Tirreno-Adriatico has given Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) no shortage of confidence ahead of the 9.3 kilometre final time trial later today in San Benedetto del Tronto. The Italian said that finishing second had "felt like a win" because of the six-second time bonus he received, putting him to within six seconds of Chris Horner's overall lead.
