Nibali has been pretty gracious in defeat. Without the antics with Roglic (or realistically, had both team directors gotten on the phone and agreed to co-operate for longer term benefit) then maybe a smallish loss might have translated into a smallish win. Nibali did animate the stage into Como and instigated the attack on the Mortirolo and took time back off Roglic in both instances, which helped him and Carapaz. Nibali just wasn't ever able to dislodge Carapaz.
Oh well, onto the next race (the annual Sky warm up to the TdF yawn fest)...
