Nibali peaking did it again. Saved himself the entire year for the last two deciding giro stages
I wish I had his luck.
Same lol. Nibali's form schedule would be perfect for my exams

You can say much about Vino but it's clear that he still know a lot about using the right tactics. |

Nibali deserved it, but imo Chaves deserved it more, attacking the whole race and fighting for it on the final stage, that said, so did Kruijswick and we can only have one winner.
Hope we see more of Jungels and Chaves in GTs after this, both great riders that I love to watch race.
As for the race as a whole, we need more GTs like this, whatever it was - not too tough as a whole, not the longest mountain stages, no sky train or something else - it's been the best in a long time.

Have Pozzovivo and Siutsou abandoned or why do they let Atapuma go in the breakaway? |

Well if you look at it Kruijswijk has been vulnerable on descents this Giro and was actually really close to crash earlier, where he got saved by Majka.
Nibali was just awesome this Giro.. And what a Giro as well. Majka getting Top 5, even though he did not have that good of a condition is decent. Hoped higher before the Giro though but w/e.
Atapuma must've surely jumped up the GC with this time gap, or..?

No team that supported them and they certainly didn't expect the break to get a that big gap. |

Siutsou didn't have team support but Pozzovivo did have some AG2R guys with him today but he just wasn't upto it

Yeah.
Atapuma deserved one in this Giro, but got his top-10! Amador fated mightily compared to last year, but was very solid and got Il Maglia earlier! Good performances, I did not expect Amador to finish there. Uran also woke up similar to last year, but this time, he ended 7th. He is a solid top-5 rider in the Giro without bronchitis.
Todays stage was meh until Nibali opened. Chaves didn't have it for the second time in a row and Nibali is just a champion. Very well deserved.
Valverde lost the Giro with 1.17 without never really being in contention. 3 minutes in the Dolomites hurts, but he got his podium and close to second even! He didn't seem to have any problem with the altitude today. Seems like a bad day he had in Corvara, unfortunately. |

There is no problem with going into the mountain ranges in other countries Especially not when Valverde stole your boys podium |

When was the last time we had 8 or more different riders wearing the leaders' jersey at some point throughout the race?

Chaves; so much respect.
Big smile, he has no excuses, he's just happy he's on the podium. "This is just the beginning".
Awesome guy |

Good post race interview from Chaves, no excuses I didn't have the legs and he was smiling the whole interview. The guy will win a GT one day
