"...Vincenzo Nabali's career began with the Fassa Bortolo team in 2005, where he made an immediate impact by finishing second overall in the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali multi-stage race. He joined Liquigas from 2006 to 2012, securing early victories such as a stage at the 2006 Settimana Coppi e Bartali and the 2006 GP Plouay one-day classic. During this period, he established himself as a Grand Tour contender, podiuming at the Giro d'Italia in 2010 and winning the Vuelta a España in 2010. His breakthrough Grand Tour win came in 2010 with the Vuelta a España, where he claimed the overall title and two stages while riding for Liquigas.

In 2013, Nibali moved to Astana and dominated the Giro d'Italia, winning the general classification by 4 minutes and 43 seconds over second place, along with four stages. The following year, 2014, he conquered the Tour de France, becoming the first Italian to win since Marco Pantani in 1998, by taking five stages and the yellow jersey after a commanding performance in the mountains. He repeated his Giro success in 2016, rallying from a deficit to win by 52 seconds, marking his second victory in the Italian Grand Tour. Nibali's versatility extended beyond stage races; he won the Milan-San Remo Monument classic in 2018 with a daring descent off the Poggio and secured Il Lombardia twice, in 2015 and 2017, both times showcasing his late-race attacks.

Later in his career, Nibali raced for Bahrain-Merida (20172019), Trek-Segafredo (20202021), and returned to Astana in 2022 for his farewell season, where he earned a fourth-place finish at his final Giro d'Italia and a special award for his contributions to the race. Over 18 seasons, he amassed 54 professional victories, including 15 Grand Tour stages, and 11 Grand Tour podiums, solidifying his legacy as one of the most complete riders of his generation.."
