Italian 2013 and 2016 Giro d'Italia
winner Vincenzo Nibali is a doubt for this year's edition on May
8-30 after breaking his right wrist in training Wednesday, his
team Trek-Segafredo said.
The 36-year-old Sicilian 'Shark', who has also won the Tour de
France and the Vuelta a Espana, was to have taken part in the
April 19-23 Tour of the Alps, the Liege-Bastogne-Liege on April
15, and then the Giro.
Nibali now faces an operation in Lugano, where he lives.
Trek-Segafredo said they decided to "immediately opt for an
operation in Switzerland tomorrow (Thursday)".
They said "only after the operation will it be possible to
hypothesize a recovery path and make the necessary assessments
on Nibali's participation in the Giro d'Italia".
