In contrary to what Gazzetta dello Sport suggested on Monday, Vincenzo Nibali denied he wouldn't appear in upcoming edition of Milano-Sanremo held next Sunday. The Tour de France champion, as it was a case twelve months ago, is not exactly in his top condition, but still will be expected to show off his aggressive attitute and animate decisive parts of the season's first monument.

„There is no le Mànie, but rest assured, I'm going to participate,” Nibali told La Gazzetta dello Sport according to Spaziociclismo. „I also paid for a trip for my parents so they could come and see the race.”
