Last Saturday’s victory at Milan-San Remo confirmed once again Vincezo Nibali’s high caliber.
Nibali has been able to grab a Grand Tour or Monument victory every single year since 2013. In the last five years, there have been six grand tours he has been part of and in each one of them, the Italian rider has been able to position himself in the Top-Five while winning two of them.
On the other hand, since 2013, he has become part of five Monument races. Nibali, 33, has won three of them! The Sicilian rider is definitely one of the greatest cyclists of his generation grabbing victories and being placed on top positions in almost every single major event he has become part of these last 5-7 years.
