At the end of today's stage, in his beloved Messina, the great Vincenzo Nibali has announced that he will retire at the end of the season. This is to all intents and purposes the last Giro d'Italia, the symbol of Italian cycling for men.
Nibali is considered by many to be the best Italian cyclist in recent years, with 2 Giro d'Italia wins (2013, 2016), a Tour de France (2014) and a Vuelta di Spagna (2010).
A sad time for sport is approaching, but the story of the "Shark of the Strait" will forever remain in the annals!
