Defending champion Nibali to skip Il Lombardia
The Tour of Lombardy will be without its reigning champion this year as Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Vincenzo Nibali has chosen to skip the autumn Monument.
The Italian has been recovering from a broken collarbone sustained on the final descent of the Olympic Games road race in Rio in August, but he is back on the bike and ready to race again – just with a different end-of-season program.
According to Gazzetta, Giro d’Italia champion Nibali will make his return at the Tre Valli Varesine on September 27, but that will be his sole involvement in the series late-season Italian one-day races.

He will then head to the Tour of Almaty, an important home race in the eyes of his Kazakhstani Astana team, before closing his campaign at the Abu Dhabi Tour.
Nibali will ride for the Bahrain-Merida team next year, where his first race is likely to be the Tour de San Luis in January.
