Nibali considering Giro-Tour double

Alpe-d’Huez will be the site of the grand finale of the 2015 Tour de France and the climb does not hold the happiest of memories for defending champion Vincenzo Nibali. His sole previous visit came at the 2008 Tour de France and the experience left him shaking his head and effectively vowing, ‘never again.’
