TRE CIME DI LAVAREDO, Italy -- Vincenzo Nibali virtually wrapped up the Giro dItalia title with a dominating solo performance to win the penultimate stage Saturday, leaving behind his rivals under a blizzard of snow on the races final climb. Nibali attacked with three kilometres to go on the steep ascent to Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the three-week classics highest point at an altitude of 2,304 metres. On the final stages of the climb, the road was surrounded by huge banks of snow. It was Nibalis second stage victory of the race, having also won Thursdays mountain time trial. His performance came in stark contrast to the developments at the race Friday, when the 19th stage was cancelled due to snow and it was announced that 2007 Giro winner Danilo Di Luca tested positive for EPO in a surprise check at his home before this years race. "I wanted to leave a mark," Nibali said. "After what happened yesterday I wanted to show that I was fighting right up to the end." An Italian with the Astana team, Nibali clocked five hours 27 minutes 41 seconds over the 211-kilometre leg, which began in Silandro and passed through the renowned ski resort of Cortina dAmpezzo. The 20th stage was originally supposed to include a few more climbs but the route was altered due to the adverse weather conditions and snow covering some roads. Colombian pair Fabio Duarte and Rigoberto Uran finished second and third, 17 and 19 seconds behind, respectively. Uran moved up from third to second overall, 4:43 behind Nibali. Cadel Evans, the 2011 Tour de France winner, dropped to third, 5:52 back. Evans finished about 1 1/2 minutes behind Nibali in the stage, which was also characterized by sub-freezing temperatures. Nibali had to have hot tea poured over his hands to relieve the cold after crossing the line, so he could take off his wet gloves without pain. Along the final climb, Nibali had to push fans away who kept clinging to him. "I was worried one of them might slip," he said. "I want to thank all the people who waited for me up here at the top and the organizers for allowing us to get here." Before the stage started, Dutch rider Robert Gesink, one of the pre-race favourites, withdrew from the race. The race ends on flat ground in Brescia on Sunday with a 197-kilometre stage starting in Riese Pio X. Nibali also took the red points jersey from Mark Cavendish, but the British sprinter can reclaim it by winning the final stage.

Massimo Luongo has declared himself ready to take on Japan as the Socceroos seek a return to winning ways in their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.But as is always the case with Ange Postecoglous side, its about more than just winning, but winning in the right way.The national team coach fumed at gamesmanship from Saudi Arabia in their 2-2 draw last week, with delaying tactics employed among a bag of tricks designed to stifle Australias play.The 51-year-old said it was in everyones interests to play the whistle, get on with it and not feign injury.Back yourself to win a game of football by playing football, he said.The tactics are par from the course when playing in the Middle East but Postecoglou said it wasnt just a cultural or regional difference.Indeed, hed seen the carry-on and nonsense - so despised by Australian crowds - in our own under-age sides.I watch our Under 20s, our Under 17s national teams and I see kids doing it, rolling around, he said.I think its the wrong way. Youre never going to improve.Those sorts of tactics, short-term gets you something but overall, if Asia is going to become a world power and win a World Cup, that kind of stuff just doesnt work any more.Get on with it.Its not about playing in the right spirit or the culture ..dddddddddddd. its just the mentality that needs to change.Luongo, who said he was feeling really good ahead of the Japan date, suggested a different match would be in store at Etihad Stadium.From my experience and what I know about the Japanese, I dont think its in their nature to be like that, he told AAP.I think were up for a very good game of football and an entertaining game rather than what we got with the stop-and-starting and the sabotaging of match minutes (against Saudi Arabia).Postecoglou said the preciously talented 24-year-old as likely to return to the starting eleven for Tuesdays match after confirming that a few changes would be made to his team to take on the Blue Samurai.Indeed, missing out would be unfathomable; when fit, Luongo has featured in every competitive Socceroos match since the 2014 World Cup.But hes yet to beat Japan - as is Postecoglou as coach - and is eager to do so to help Australias qualifying bid for Russia 2018 on track.With the way the teams going, were in a great position to tick off another milestone and get the win, Luongo said.Its not got to be an easy game and no one is expecting that.
