以招牌突圍致勝，鯊魚哥通過終點高舉雙手奪冠

「我不是最快的車手，因此我必須創造點什麼。」

在109屆米蘭聖雷莫(Milano-Sanremo)的頒獎台上，我們的鯊魚哥(Vincenzo Nibali)燦爛登台！昨夜他憑藉著波喬山(Poggio)的果敢攻擊，守住12秒的領先優勢，終場就以單飛的姿態抵達終點，在這場7小時18分的長距離大戰中，以強烈的個人風格勝出。

在衝刺手的主戰場，果敢的攻擊別具鯊魚風格

「在一個時間點我回身一看，發現有一定的領先優勢，所以我堅持下去。」

「最困難的莫過於最後2公里，我再也沒有回頭，只聽見無線電裡，運動總監阿爾貝托·沃爾皮(Alberto Volpi)喊著：『11秒、10秒，繼續堅持！』我一心只想用盡全力，直到最後50公尺才再次回頭，迎接勝利的一刻。」

「在完成雙海賽後，我知道我的狀態正往上提升，這也讓賽前的我增添自信；這次的勝利不是一己之力，我要感謝所有隊友今天的付出，他們奠定了這場比賽的勝利！」

衝刺主將科爾布雷利也為尼巴利的這一勝相當激動

保羅·斯隆戈(Paolo Slongo)也分享他的觀察：「今天早晨尼巴利給我的感覺，如同他過去贏得重要勝利前的經驗一樣，雖然這個賽季的啟動不如預期，但近兩個月來，他在訓練方面下的苦工，都在這次的勝利有了回報。」

不僅擁有三大賽的總冠軍頭銜，進軍單日賽場的鯊魚哥，更在環倫巴第(Il Lombardia)兩度摘冠後，再次更新五大古典賽的重要戰績；他也是繼2006年的波薩托(Filippo Pozzato)之後，義大利車迷期盼已久的地主冠軍！

The BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM sent a strong line-up to the Milano-Sanremo spring classic. After a strong team effort throughout the final hour of racing, Vincenzo Nibali placed his decisive attack on the Poggio on his way to win yet another of cycling’s monuments.

In terms of topography, there may be harder races than the spring classic Milano-Sanremo. But since the distance to be covered between Northern Italy’s commercial capital and the spa town on the Ligurian coast sums up to a staggering 294 kilometers, this race is demanding in its own ways. After a lackluster performance at the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race, the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM was looking to make amends, and the riders in red, gold and dark blue had a couple of strategic options to play with. Both Vincenzo Nibali and Matej Mohoric could try to go for a solo win with a late attack. And if the race should be decided in a bunch sprint, there was Sonny Colbrelli as a fast man who was unlikely to lose contact on the Cipressa and Poggio climbs. This trident of protected riders could rely on the able support of domestiques such as Heinrich Haussler, Kristijan Koren, Franco Pellizotti and Luka Pibernik.

The riders left Milano in the pouring rain, and for a long time, a nine-man lead-group that had attacked from the very start took charge of things, building a maximum lead of seven and a half minutes. Meanwhile, the riders of the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM stayed within the peloton, keeping their powder dry for the finale. The last four attackers were caught with 30 kilometers to go right after the Tre Capi section of the course, and from there the riders in red, gold and dark blue showed an impressive team effort: On the approach to the Cipressa it was up to Luka Pibernik and Kristijan Koren to keep Nibali well-sheltered in the leading positions of the peloton. As for the Cipressa and the Poggio climb and the descent in between, Franco Pellizotti and Matej Mohoric took over to protect their captain. On the upper slopes of the Poggio climb, Nibali countered an attack of Latvia’s national champion Krists Neilands, leaving the latter behind and cresting the Poggio with an advantage of 12 seconds.

On the final six kilometers, Vincenzo Nibali made good use of his superb handling skills: The Sicilian defended his lead on the twisting, technical descent through the greenhouses. The flat final three kilometers turned into a real nailbiter as the teams with strong sprinters tried all they could to get back to the race leader. Meanwhile, Nibali was profiting from MERIDA’s aerodynamically refined REACTO bike and Vision’s particularly streamlined «Metron 6D» handlebar. His lead was shrinking gradually, but Vincenzo Nibali dug deep, mobilized all the reserves his body had to offer and kept believing in his chances. In the end, he even found time to sit up and celebrate his victory in style, the sprinting peloton breathing down his neck. With Sonny Colbrelli in 9th, another rider of the BAHRAIN MERIDA PRO CYCLING TEAM finished within the top10. For Nibali, this was the second consecutive victory at one of cycling’s monuments after his win at last year’s il Lombardia.
