The Shark is positive and will not be at the Spanish race, scheduled for February 16-20
Forced stop for Vincenzo Nibali. Squalo, 37, tested positive for Covid on Sunday evening and therefore must stop. He had made his debut earlier this month at the Vuelta Valenciana (highlighting himself in the last stage with almost 80 km of breakaway) and was due to race from Wednesday, again in Spain, at the Ruta del Sol, before making his debut at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday 26 February and dive into the Italian program in March, Tirreno-Adriatico before Sanremo. Now, of course, everything is on stand-by: Nibali will do a PCR in 5 days to take stock and then we’ll see. For the moment, however, he is asymptomatic. Pro ‘since 2005, the Sicilian has won 2 Giri, 1 Tour, 1 Vuelta, 2 Lombardia and 1 Sanremo to name the main successes.
