Nibali deserving winner. He went with 3kms to go and never looked like anyone could challenge him. |

Uran surprised me this Giro. Top 5 was achievable, but didn't think he had enough for a GC Podium. Chapeau.
Betancur was amazing thorughout the Giro. Majka had awesome breakthrough too.
Kudos to Agnoli, Aru and Kangert who did absolute amazing work for Nibali.

Evans becomes the first Australian to finish on the podium at all three GT's. Brilliant fighting ride from him.
Amazing performance by Nibali, deserved winner.
Incredilbe scenes at the finish. |

Think about how would Betancur ride if he didn't have to change bike 2 times and workd hard to get peloton. Nibali is today's hero, as well as all of TOP10 guys. Hat off |

Well yes, I didn't rate him enough even without Wiggins there to be consistent enough for GC podium, and he surprised me very much, showed plenty good sings, much improved from last year's Giro attempt.
Hard to split Betancur and Uran for 2nd best climber of the race.

Nibali coming home in those conditions will be the enduring image of this Giro. A dominant win from a great champion rider.
Also the Coming wave of Colombian Grand Tour success, Uran taking another step up, but Betencur and the Colombian team too for me.

Blanco cost Scarponi a spot on the podium. 
Would've beaten Evans by 4 seconds if it wasn't for the crash on stage 3.

If that was the case Evans would have probably been stuck on his wheel all the way today. These "scenarios" are pointless. |

This is the most convincing grand tour win since Contador in the Giro.

In a few years Colombia team will have all the best colombians riders probably.
Quintana, Henao and I think Uran might go to them already the next season. |

Evans is really lucky that yesterday's stage got cancelled. Cav actually as well, otherwise Nibali might make a chance for red jersey as well.
I'm really surprised by Uran, Niemic, Betancur, Majka, Kangert, Duarte and a few others this Giro. Evans also scored better than expected. |
