Antonio Nibali's career is over. The 31-year-old Italian, best known as the brother of Giro, Tour and Vuelta winner Vincenzo Nibali. La Gazzetta dello Sport informed about the end of his career.
The youngest Nibali has been a professional cyclist since 2015. First two years at Nippo-Vini Fantini and then always at Vincenzo's side. This was successively with Bahrain Merida, Trek-Segafredo and Astana Qazaqstan. After Vincenzo retired from cycling last year, Antonio was able to spend another year at Astana, but he will not get a new contract there for 2024.
Antonio Nibali managed to book a professional victory in his career. He did this in 2018 in the seventh stage of the Tour of Austria. He also completed the Giro d'Italia three times and the Vuelta a España twice.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
