But look who is the last addition on startlist for the Giro dell'Appennino.
A part of me thinks he, Paco Mancebo and Sevilla have all watched Highlander a few times too often and think that they'll win the prize if they are the last one standing.View: https://mobile.twitter.com/cirogazzetta/status/1540583308513378305
Do we really believe he’s retiring in October?
Adios coming up
The 51-year-old from Vicenza, pro 'since 1992', in addition to the Giro del Veneto on 12 will also be in the line race on Sunday. It will be his final goodbye.Rebellin dirà addio il 16 ottobre alla Veneto Classic
Il 51enne vicentino, pro’ dal 1992’, oltre al Giro del Veneto del 12 sarà anche alla gara in linea della domenica. Sarà il suo salutowww.gazzetta.it
Never forget the consequetive Triplet Amstel-Freccia-Liegi in 2004.
If he hasn't done a pro race since then in a year, I'll believe it.
I would find it much better if he went into a breakaway. I‘ve been trying to spot him every time he‘s in a race but he‘s absolutely invisible. Every time I think: ”This time he hasn‘t finished in the bunch.“ until he randomly appears in the results.Finished in the bunch today. It's incredible how he can still perform at this level.
Last race on Sunday.

Maybe, but I don't think it's something to admire in particular. He doesn't add anything to a race apart from being old.Criticising a 50-year-old for his riding style in pro races doesn't make much sense to me.
As if anyone believes this hoax.Bowing out today at the Veneto Classic - bravo!
