Giro d'Italia - Stage 21
SportingNonsense
The final stage of this year's Giro is a circuit around Udine. There's always a chance of an incident, but this should be the crowning stage for i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Taylor Phinney.

It should also be the 8th victory battle between the sprinters in this race. Many came with expectations, but two men have dashed the hopes of the rest. i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Daniele Bennati with 4 stages, and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Ben Swift with 3. The most likely outcome today is that their score will either become 5-3 or 4-4.

A breakaway is quick to form.

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/kng_zpsafcfbe9d.png Kevin Fouquet

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/ubs_zpsaf43a720.png Tschopp and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bo.png Vandborg have been two of the most aggressive riders of the race, breakaway wise. Tschopp took a 4th place after a mountain stage escapade, while Vandborg managed to take 6th on Stage 14, followed by a 5th on Stage 18.

Infact all have been in the action. i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/pro_zpsc5cfa503.png Sinkeldam took 2nd on Stage 14, while i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/kng_zpsafcfbe9d.png Fouquet has a best of 3rd on Stage 18. i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/mil_zpsb1abc362.png Nepomnyachsniy can only look on in envy, after he was denied victory in Stage 11 when his breakaway was caught in the final kilometres.

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Venchi.png Vanmarcke meanwhile, has a best stage result of 92nd. Every single other rider in the race has had a better single stage performance than him.

In the peloton, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Taylor Phinney is surrounded by teammates - towards the front of the peloton, as usual.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-3.jpg

Meanwhile sat at the back is Lanterne Rouge i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/pro_zpsc5cfa503.png Andrei Nechita

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-8.jpg

No work to do for Wikipedia today though, with Puma-SAP and Vesuvio-Accumalux keeping close attention to the breakaway from an early stage. They aren't going to be taking any risks this time.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-4.jpg

Pokerstars join in at 20km to go and they home in on the breakaway.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-5.jpg

Nepomnyachsniy, Vanmarcke, Fouquet and Sinkeldam hold out for the longest, but are caught with around 7km remaining.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-6.jpg

And forward come the sprint trains.

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Venchi.png Claudio Corioni

As usual, it is Puma and Vesuvio who are strongest.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-9.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Kvist moves into the lead as the sprint begins, ahead of i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Caethoven. But no surprises that starting early is i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Van Heerden!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-10.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png Degenkolb has left behind Mohs. Meyer and Davis are up there, but the other sprinters have already been gapped. And approaching the final kilometre, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Bennati has opened up his sprint and immediately viered over to the right.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-11.jpg

It's one of those rare good stages for i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Juan Van Heerden, it seems, as he opens up a gap. Can he be the one to break the pattern?

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-12.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Swift has made his move now, and had a little advantage on Bennati after the Italian struggled to reach max speed straight away.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-13.jpg

Together they start to close the gap to Van Heerden

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-14.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Swift takes the lead, but flying on his tail are i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/fes_zpsd43e76fa.png Anthony Lavoine and i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/wig_zps5dbe18f9.png Luke Rowe. i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png Erik Mohs is also closing.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-15.jpg

Can i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Bennati fight back to take his 5th stage?

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-16.jpg

Not today, and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Swift takes victory!

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-17.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Ben Swift bookends the Giro with victories, and levels it at 4 stages each with i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/puma.png Daniele Bennati. A fair result, given their close rivalry. Swift will take 2nd in the Points Classification, while Bennati will be forced to share 3rd with Spilak.

i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy344/DailyManGame2011/gdi/udine-18.jpg

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/fes_zpsd43e76fa.png Lavoine takes an impressive 3rd. His best result on the 7 previous sprint finishes was 13th!

It is 4th for i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png Erik Mohs. Not a great Grand Tour for him - I wonder if the problem could be that i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/Pokerstars.png Degenkolb is too fast a leadout for him? Swift and Bennati had slower leadout riders who both did a better job at guiding them into position.

i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/wig_zps5dbe18f9.png Rowe, i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PCT/hol_zpsfe2f7500.png Davis and i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/ubs_zpsaf43a720.png Richeze were next. The unteachable i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/srl_zps5f456879.png Van Heerden fades at the finish again for 8th. Then rounding out the Top 10 are i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/lot_zps2971ec30.png Ciolek and i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/Gustavovskiy/microjerseys/PT/cal_zpsd3e3d363.png Haedo.

Finishing 15th, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/wikipedia.png Taylor Phinney has won the Giro!
