BOLOGNA, Italy - Vincenzo Nibali got a little scare on Saturday, but his form was not in question as the local darling rode through hordes of tifosi in the Giro d’Italia opening time trial before reminding Simon Yates that he should show his rivals some respect.
The Sicilian admitted his only concern in the 8km effort against the clock ending up the San Luca climb came when the fans came too close to the Bahrain-Merida leader, who finished third, 23 seconds off the pace set by Primoz Roglic of Slovenia. “It was a very difficult time trial but we knew the course very well, especially the climb because we did it many times during the Giro d’Emilia.Yates finished between Nibali and Roglic after the Briton conceded 19 seconds to the Slovenian.
“It’s been a long time since a rider has been so over the top. But of course if he wins the race, I’ll do him the honours he deserves,” Nibali said before Yates had crossed the line.“I respect all my rivals, I really didn’t mean to disrespect anybody,” he said.
