Nibali finishes the 12th stage of the TdF


Vincenzo Nibali withdrew from the Tour de France. The Italian cyclist, winner of the 2014 race, has retired due to an injury sustained as a result of a collision with a police motorcycle four kilometers from the finish of the 12th step.

Nibali, leader of the Bahrain-Merida group, despite the grimace of pain on his face, rises quickly on a bicycle and tries ambitiously to take the lead. He finished seventh at the finish line, losing only 13 seconds to the winner of Gerainta Thomas (Sky)

33-Italy after completing the stage, complaining of back pain, went to medical point of the race, near the arrival at Alpe d 'Huez, from where he was directed to the hospital. The Bahrain-Merida team doctor Emilio Magni suspected that the rider could have broken vertebrae

Research in Grenoble confirmed the first diagnoses. In the evening, Nibali withdrew from the race

"I do not know how it is 39 "happened"

– Romain Bardet attacked at that time and had a ten-second advantage, and motorcycle races between him and the leader group. When Chris Froome moved, I also sped up and suddenly found myself on the floor. I do not know how it happened – explained Nibali at the finish line

After the stage, the Bahrain-Merida team asked Nibal to take the time of four, quoting the previous one, when Froome received the group's time a fall caused by the column of the bike. However, the protest was rejected

In the general classification, a cyclist from Sicily, called "Messina Shark", ranks fourth with a loss of 2.37 for the leader Thomas.
