The Rider: Duarte is on paper the 2nd best climber in the world (After A. Schleck) and Antón has finished on the podium of the last 5 Giro's including 2 wins and on the podium in the last three Vueltas incl. two win so he is arguably the most succesful GT-rider of 2012-2016...

Giro d'Italia
Stage 21: Bergamo – Brescia
Far from a parade stage we want to both preserve the win, while also showing that it is decerved.
There’s plenty of attacking early on with youth jersey Edmondson being one of the most active.
Being the last stage of the race the break is not given as much gap as the previous days. Just under three minutes at the first pass of Monte Maddalena.
Hushovd and Rasmussen are being put to work on the downhill and flat sections.
Gasparotto goes solo on the second pass and on the top he has more than seven minutes to the peloton. Time to really start working.
The next time over the top he is the only one out front, but the gap remains around seven minutes.
Next time across Gasparotto has 2’50’’ to Brambilla and a further 40 seconds to the peloton.
Things go as planned and with 3,5 km to the top the final time it’s the big names battling for the win.
Henao attacks and no one seem to have the energy to go after him.
Jakob leads the chase on the last few km and enters the descent alone with Antón and Duarte while Henao is still 42 seconds ahead with 12 km to the finish line.
Chavez sees his GC 4th go down the drain with 7,5 km to go.
Henao holds on to take the stage win while the GC top 3 sprint for second place.
A sprint ending in the same order as the GC.
45 riders missed the time limit on the final stage, but none of our riders.

I have to say we didn't expect a win of this size, but we were lucky to avoid accidents and really bad days from Jakob - in contrast to the closest competitors.
Of course a mountain top win would have looked good, but we are proud of Fuglsangs performance nonetheless!

Rider of the Month: Igor Antón, Cofidis le credit en ligne. The UCI decided that winning two jerseys and 5 stages was more impressive than Fuglsang outsmarting the best climbers in the Giro. Of course he did get a spot in the history books alongside Moser and Saronni for most points jersey wins (4).
Nordic Rider of the Month:Jakob Fuglsang, Novo Nordisk – SAS. Winning the GC and four stages (incl. the TTT) really makes a good month from the CT-riders obsolete when it comes to this award.
Atlantius, Manager of Novo Nordisk – SAS
Congratulations on your splendid Giro win giving you an even bigger lead in the rankings. It seems your team has reached a new all-time high.
It has. And that’s the purpose – always getting stronger. Jakob has had an amazing season ash as many of the other riders. No we hope to be able to continue the run for the rest of the season perhaps getting us our first Velo d’Or winner and another GT-podium?
How do you see the team continuing from here? It’s hard to see much more development...
First of all both our sponsors are still on board which is very nice. Second we still haven’t won Ronde van Vlaanderan, an Ardennes Classic, the Tour or the Vuelta so there’s plenty of new targets for us to aim at.
I think it’s safe to say that the team has achieved much more already than expected when you were part of founding it back in early 2012. And I dare say not many had expected Fuglsang to become a double Giro-winner.
Well, Jakob is a late bloomer and with a cleaner peloton we have a more level playing field than 10 years ago.
So where do you go from here?
Onwards and Upwards I suppose...

Rabobank will stop sponsoring the continental team, which instead will ride as NOS – ABN AMRO.
Generali will be replacing ISD as sponsor of the Italian World Tour team.
Novo Nordisk – SAS have announced the signing of 20-year old Martin Nielsen from August. Nielsen was 6th in this year’s Ronde van Vlaanderen Espoirs and his signing should be seen in the view of Hushovd retiring leaving an open spot in the cobbles squad. A problem that only gets worse for the team after Kristoff have announced that he will be looking for offers elsewhere.
Duarte still haven’t renewed with Vacansoleil and now Liquigas has made public that they want the Colombian. That has resulted in Pozzovivo announcing that he wants to leave.
Kennaugh have announced that he will be leaving Statoil – Stoerensoe as he wants a stronger team.
Omega Pharma – QuickStep wasn’t able to make Sep Vanmacke a good enough offer, so he will be leaving. Winning Omloop and finishing 9th in Paris – Roubaix should give him plenty of other options…
Apparently being the 3rd best rider in the rankings is not enough to get a decent offer from Belisol so Kreuziger will be looking for a new team.

Great ride by Jakob & the entire team. Cheers!
I suppose Antón's title as rider of the month is understandable, yet Fuglsang's performance seems to be underrated by the UCI. After all he won with quite a comfortable lead, the Team kept the pink jersey all the way to Brescia and I'm pretty sure he'd won even it wasn't for the cbs-stage to Rome, although this tactic certainly helped a lot. Very smart riding indeed. He (and the team) have definitely come a long way. Overall, he always seemed to be in control of things and this is definitely one of the hardest tasks of a leader in a Grand Tour to pull off, to always stay in control.

Ian: We have. And two riders have even managed to stay on the team going from 20 unemployed riders to top of the world!
Shonak: It would have been very hard without the cobbles, but I would certainly have tried every way I could think of
sutty: ...And that shows on how the other teams behave when we try to get in a break
welker: Still possible, though Statoil is actually only 3rd best CT team in the CQ-ranking. Het Nieuwsblad should lose terrain in the last half of the season, but we'll see what happens...
