The Shark of the Strait, as it is known in the cycling world, will be present at the starting line on February 27th. We recall that, after retiring as a professional road cyclist in 2022, entered the world of mountain biking.
His 2023 debut with fat wheels will be at the Andalucía Bike Race by GARMIN:“I learned about the event through my friend Giuseppe Pellegrino, as he told me it could be a good opportunity before tackling the Cape Epic. I asked my partner Ivan Santaromita if he wanted to participate, since he has never raced in MTB, so it's a good opportunity to start getting familiar with racing in pairs".
Despite the novelty of seeing Nibali on a mountain bike for the cycling public, it is not for the Italian: “MTB is a passion that I've always had since I was a child, but unfortunately I had to leave this discipline for the road. Now I can devote much more time to it. The world of mountain biking seems like a lot of fun to me and also much closer to people and, of course, in close contact with nature".
