Azzurri alert: “No glimpse of champions like Vincenzo Nibali”

Giro d’Italia director Mauro Vegni ahead of the Tour of Lombardy: “Without Nibali, next year will be a question mark.”

Vincenzo Nibali is preparing to leave professional cycling: on Saturday, October 8, he will race the Giro di Lombardia, the last race of his career. The director of the Giro d’Italia and RCS races Mauro Vegni in a press conference bitterly commented on the Shark’s farewell: “He has represented so much for the national cycling people, surely he will be greatly missed in the peloton. He was a rider who managed to make spectacular feats, which fascinated the whole world of sports

Nibali leaves at a complicated time for Italian road cycling: “For us, next year will be a question mark, because unfortunately, reluctantly, no Italians with characteristics that can in some way remind us of Vincenzo will appear.”
