The Italian Vincenzo Nibali (Trek Segafredo), one of the 7 riders in history who have won Tour, Giro and Vuelta, is close to signing for Astana, according to Alexander Vinokurov, director of the new project of the Kazakh team.
In two years on the Trek, 37-year-old Vincenzo Nibali has been unsuccessful, but Vinokurov has the “Shark of Messina” for the 2022 season.
After being removed from his post as sports director, Vinokurov has returned to Astana with a new position that enables him to direct transfer policy.
“Nibali? Yes, we are close to an agreement. I’m sure we can get together.” We think of a good team in a new and calm environment, “said Vinokurov.
