What a hard challenge for Vincenzo Nibali who fighted strenuously at the Giro d'Italia 2011 against rivals Alberto Contador and Michele Scarponi ! After the third place in 2010, Vincenzo Nibali equals his result and confirms himself as one of the world best riders.
In the selective climbs of the Dolomites and in the Time trial races the blue-green champion has proved a praiseworthy perceverance and determination which has allowed him to achieve another prestigious goal facing his rivals in memorables head to head.
The combative spirit of the "Shark of Messina" is once again revealed through his statements after the race ended: "Any chance of second place disappeared after reaching the finish in Milan... but I'm still happy with third place" - and he added: " This is my third podium in the last 12 month and I'm very satisfied".
The words of the Liquigas-Cannondale Team captain suggest that he grows ambitious aspirations for the remaining season and for the 2012 Giro d'Italia: "I've learned where I made mistakes but also learned where I can improve and do better in the future. I'm 26 and so I've got to use this year races to do even better in the future. Cycling is about understanding your limits and ability, and when to use your resources."
