Nibali is another rider who has had a less than ideal preparation for the first grand tour of the year. The Trek-Segafredo leader crashed during training two weeks ago and broke his wrist.
“The Shark” has not let that slow him down and he has been fitted with a wrist brace to allow him to continue training for his home race.
“A carbon brace, developed by Fabrizio Borra, will accompany me in my recovery path. I don’t want to leave any stone unturned to be at Giro d’Italia,” Nibali wrote on social media earlier this month.
“We are doing our best. But we need patience, lucidity and caution before any decision. Every day until May 8 will be precious.”
