Vincenzo Nibali to ride custom-painted bike in his last ever race as a pro rider

Vincenzo Nibali is ending what is one of the most illustrious and successful careers in modern cycling at Il Lombardia, and he is riding a special bike as a tribute to a man who has marked Italy's long history in pro cycling.
Astana Qazaqstan Team have shared on social media the Willier 0 SLR that the Italian will be riding at the fifth monument of the season, one he has won back in 2015 and 2017, and will be looking for a hattrick taking into consideration the form he has been showing this season.
The bike features a three-colour setup with blue, yellow and red, with several small details about his nicknames and personal triumphs spread across the frame. The Italian has taken countless wins in his home country of incredible importance, and Astana's bike manufacturer has taken the opportunity.
“This is why, we – every single one of us at Wilier Triestina – have decided to pay tribute to Vincenzo Nibali with a special paintwork that would represent not just a successful career, but also our sense of gratitude for giving us so many thrills along the way," Willier president Andrea Gastaldello said about the project.

- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career. He claimed to enter the sport as a clean athlete, but there is evidence was already well into using banned substances as a triathlete. Lance is still lying about his use of banned substances & blood transfusions during his return to competition with Astana team.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024
