Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) is a rising star of the Tour, his attacking style and super cool nickname – “the shark” – have forwarded his reputation and offered him new celebrity. As of stage 12, he remains one of the very few riders within sight of the top step of the 2012 Tour de France podium. We at SRAM love this guy, he rolls on our all new SRAM RED-2012, and we’re pretty confident the 2010 Vuelta winner will continue to push his rivals all the way to Paris. Go Shark!
