Vincenzo Nibali back in action at Milano-Torino, having not raced since early February, and having lost 20 days of training after suffering a triple whammy of COVID-19, tonsillitis, and another infection.

The Italian will not ride Milan-San Remo on Saturday but will line-up for the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali stage race next week that starts on Tuesday and includes stages in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany.
