Jul 06, 2014, 07:17 PM

Vincenzo Nibali answered the doubters who suspected he was not in top form in time for the Tour de France by winning the second stage from York to Sheffield.

In this episode of The Telegraph Cycling Podcast supported by Jaguar, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe dissect an exciting day's racing and ask Gazzetta Dello Sport writer Ciro Scognamiglio whether this victory means Nibali is the real deal. We also hear from Nibali's Astana team-mate Jakob Fuglsang.

And following confirmation that Mark Cavendish's Tour is over already following his opening day crash, we ask what this means for the Tour and for the Manxman now.
