    I just loved that little flick of the head from Thomas: “On my wheel, mate.”
    Cavendish is a great rider who never forgets his team mates, when he wins.
    Geraint Thomas is a great Human Being.

    The UAE rider put his head down (7:43) and looked up before drifting right and possibly clipped Milan's front wheel resulting in his veering off to the right... nasty crash on the last stage... unfortunate.

    Never been the biggest Cav fan, but he truly deserved to win this stage, after finishing the entire Giro. I was very glad for him, seeing him struggle in earlier stages and having this victory at last. In fact, I was cheering him on, as was probably half of the peleton. Now we're gonna see him in de TdF, I guess, one last time.

    Of all Sir Cav's wins this was the greatest. G smashing a km for no reason other than he loves the man to set him up for this epic finish. Beats 2012 in Paris with Sir Wiggins and number 35 at the TDF for me. This was special as Sir Cavendish was considered finished.

      @davidoffon he finished 3rd in the points without even trying for any interim sprints. With virtually no help from his team. And got over all the mountains fairly comfortably.
