Is Vincenzo Nibali thinking of farewell? For the moment he brakes and, as always, let the road decide, even if in an interview with Ciro Scognamiglio of La Gazzetta dello Sport , the shark confessed that a date to celebrate his immense career, there would already be: “We were thinking of November 14, 2022, the day of my 38th birthday. In Mastromarco, where I became a runner. And with all the friends and great adversaries of a lifetime, including Contador and Froome ».

So is everything already established, Vincenzo? "Not really. Actually it was me who braked. I don't want to think about it now, it's not the right time. Maybe we will actually do it this year, maybe not ... We'll see. I certainly want this year to be a long runway. It would be presumptuous to think of winning another big lap. But I am happy to be back in Astana, where I had lived wonderful years. If there are, it is because there is a sense of trust, of the will to work ".  

Nibali then reflected on the two years at Trek-Segafredo, in which for various reasons, he did not express himself at his own levels: "You find yourself in a new group, in a very international team - continued Nibali - Shortly afterwards the Covid, even if we had started quite well. But perhaps the approach to the races to resume had been too hasty, wrong. Second year ... I've never talked about it in the past but I've had knee problems. I experienced this problem very badly, also linked to sponsorships and contractual obligations ".
