Kangert not worried about Nibali’s Trentino form
Tanel Kangert (Astana) is not concerned about his teammate, and leader, Vincenzo Nibali’s form at the Giro del Trentino. Nibali is due to lead Astana at the Giro d’Italia, while Kangert is one of the eight riders set to support him.
Nibali’s performance at the four-day Giro del Trentino has been poor thus far. He lost more than two minutes on stage 3 and now sits 21st in the overall classification. It’s a far cry from the Nibali of the early season, but Kangert believes he is moving in the right direction.

“Nibali? No, we are not worried, his goal is the Giro and is working to that. No one from the team told us to wait for him. We know that his condition is growing, but is still not one hundred per cent,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
After winning stage 3 following a late attack on the final climb, Kangert is now second overall at eight seconds behind race leader Mikel Landa. His teammate Jakob Fuglsang, who is also heading to the Giro d’Italia, is a further two seconds back in third place. There are three categorised climbs on Friday’s final stage, including the first category Forcella di Brez.
