“Because of what has happened really wonder at all excuse for anyone angry or ashamed for me.” So says Vincenzo Nibali a few hours after his expulsion from the Tour of Spain for having been driven from the team dell’Astana while he was recovering after a fall. “What happened happens in every race the 30 year old Sicilian -stresses on facebook- that does not mean that it is wrong and I have to go unpunished !!! I thought I would have to pay a hefty fine and a penalty as they do to stay off the charts !!! I also accepted a penalty of ten minutes !! “. The winner of the 2014 Tour de France then responds to the criticisms that have rained down on him, “For a driven 150 meters many are quick to throw mud: ‘is returned because it is attached but no stresses that fell and was attacked, He went solo pursuit against 18 racers that push the whole front !! No sir cycling race is the race no one waiting for you !! In cycling episodes like these there are many more so after a fall !! “.
Nibali back then about the fall and the reasons that led him to be towed from the team:” After a year gone wrong for many reasons arrival at the Vuelta with the desire for redemption from a season infamous, I find myself at the first stage pardon the expression with the butt on the ground, you get up again helped by a companion hoping not signing hurt, you look the wounds left on the asphalt hot and looking for your bike that was destroyed, panic and chaos in the group, starting late … Too much … to the point that when I go back on my bike I have a delay of 1’20 “, I sling chase without fear, without water, alone, slowly gain ground and find my companions waiting for me along the way, with my head thinking that I have to go and I have to stay ahead in the race for those people who look at me, for those who love me, for my wife, my daughter and for those who will be wondering how I am, I go on to show that I have not done anything, up to the mistake that cost me dear “.
