LONDON (Reuters) - Vincenzo Nibali is not interested in winning this year's Vuelta a Espana race by default if champion Chris Froome is stripped of his title for exceeding the limit for an asthma medication.

Italian Nibali finished runner-up in the Spanish race as Team Sky's Froome became only the third rider to win the Tour de France and Vuelta in the same season.
