The shark went up on the stage of the Trial at the Stage visibly moved and was immediately moved by listening to the words of the parents. "I came here, because this is where it all began - said Nibali - I wanted to announce that this will be my last tour of Italy and that I will probably retire at the end of the season. Cycling has given me so much and I have given so much to the cycling, but now it's time to give that time back to my family too "
In connection there is also Sonny Colbrelli and the two, teammates in the past at Bahrain, exchange words of esteem: "I spent some great moments with Sonny - continued Nibali - everyone knows what happened to him, I don't know what he will want. do now, but I wish him the best. " "Maybe we will open a watch shop together - Colbrelli replied with a smile. The important thing is that we are here to laugh and joke".
A thought especially for the fans "because they are the ones who give the strength not to give up", then after seeing an emotional clip dedicated to his career, the shark did not hide his tears: "I lived 18 seasons - continued Nibali - I am I wanted to come back with this shirt because it gave me so much and seeing Scarponi again was indescribable for me.
Yesterday I lost two minutes and there are many, but I want to enjoy this tour of Italy to the fullest, whatever happens I don't want to lose my smile. Physically I'm fine, I paid yesterday, but we have to see how it goes in the next few days and we'll see whether to aim for the stages or again for the classification "
