Vincenzo Nibali and Ivan Santaromita withdrew from the Andalucia Bike Race

Vincenzo Nibali's adventure at the Andalucia Bike Race has hardly even begun: he retired after only one day of competition. Now eyes on the Cape Epic.

Vincenzo Nibali Q36 MTB (8)

Vincenzo Nibali has set himself the Cape Epic as a goal: it will be his first participation, so he will gather experience to, you never know, win it in the future. His teammate is Ivan Santaromita, with whom he made his debut a few days ago at the Andalucia Bike Race, race won by the Wilier Pirelli duo Fabian Rabensteiner and Wout Allemann. But in the opening stage, a crash by Ivan Santaromita prevented the pair from closing the race in a positive way.

Santaromita sustained a severe contusion to one hand and withdrew immediately, leaving Vincenzo Nibali without a partner for the second stage. However, Nibali decided not to abandon the race by taking part, out of the race, in all the following stages. The champion from Messina wants to continue his preparation in view of his spring objective, the Cape Epic, which will take place in South Africa from 19 to 26 March.

The Nibali-Santaromita couple, due to the fall, had finished the first stage in the rear, finishing in 45th place, separated by more than 26 minutes.

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
