With the Giro d'Italia quickly approaching, Vincenzo Nibali has used his home race of the Giro di Sicilia to prime his form towards the first big goal of his season.
After four days of racing, Nibali has ended up fourth in the overall classification, having finished second and fourth in the decisive stages: “I think that for me it was a very good test after the altitude training camp and ahead of the Giro d’Italia. It was a nice race, and I am feeling like I am on the right way. Well, I did maximum I could today and, in general, during these four days, I couldn’t do more. So, I am quite satisfied with my actual form and my result. I congratulate Damiano Caruso on this nice victory, I am happy that another Sicilian rider wins the second edition of this race in a row," he said in a post-race interview.
DS Giuseppe Martinelli has shared the same thought: "We can be happy with the way our team raced today and in these four days, the guys did an amazing job and Vincenzo is improving day by day, coming back to the races after a training camp."
Nibali has had his season plans altered quite a lot due to a Covid-19 infection, which has derailed his initial plan to race all monnuments and the first two Grand Tours of the season. He will be at Liège-Bastogne-Liège before eyeing a strong performance at the Giro d'Italia.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
