Nibali not ruling out riding Giro d`Italia and Tour de France in 2019
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Vincenzo Nibali has not ruled out riding both the Giro d´Italia and Tour de France in 2019, though he has yet to make a final decision on his racing schedule for next season. Nibali lined out at the Tour in 2018 but was forced to abandon after fracturing a vertebra in a crash on the slopes of Alpe d´Huez on stage 12. The two-time Giro winner last rode the corsa rosa in 2017, when he placed third overall behind Tom Dumoulin. The routes of the 2019 Tour and Giro were presented in late October. The Giro will feature significantly more time trialling kilometres than the Tour, but Nibali has expressed no preference for one course over the other.ADVERTISEMENT `I like them both a lot,` Nibali told La Gazzetta dello Sport. `Planning 2019 won´t be easy. It´s not ruled out that I´ll end up doing both of them.` Nibali last tackled both races in the same year in 2016, when he staged a dramatic comeback to win the Giro before riding the Tour as preparation for the Rio Olympics. He looked set to claim the gold medal in the road race in Brazil only to crash out on the final descent. Further details on Nibali´s 2019 programme are expected at the Bahrain-Merida team presentation in Hvar, Croatia on Wednesday. You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
