The Kazakh team, led by former Telekom pro Alexander Vinokourov, made the announcement on Thursday. Nibali already rode for Astana between 2013 and 2016, winning the Tour of France (2014) and the Giro d'Italia twice (2013, 2016) during this time.
With the Bahrain-Merida and Trek-Segafredo teams, the Sicilian was not quite able to build on his old successes, but won the Tour of Lombardy (2017) and Milan-Sanremo (2018) for the second time, as well as stages at the Tour and the Giro, which he finished second in 2019. "I want to prove myself once again and achieve results. At the same time, I want to pass on my experience to the young riders," said Nibali. Nibali will most likely end his career after the coming season.
