COMO, Italy (Reuters) - Italian Vincenzo Nibali used his descent skills to claim an impressive victory in the Giro Di Lombardia "Monument" classic for the second time on Saturday. "Il Lombardia" is the last of five Monument (top) one-day classics in the season after Milan-San Remo, Paris-Roubaix, the Tour of Flanders and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. "The idea was to do basically what I did two years ago with an attack in the descent," said Nibali. The Frenchman, fourth overall in the Giro d'Italia this year, accelerated three times and only Nibali could follow. Pinot then faded and took fourth place.
