Μία διοργάνωση γεμάτη εκπλήξεις μέχρι τέλους ο φετινός Γύρος Ιταλίας…
Ο Ryder Hesjedal έγινε ο πρώτος Καναδός που κατακτά μεγάλο Tour περνώντας πολύτιμη νίκη στο τελευταίο ετάπ και πρωτιά στη γενική επί του Ισπανού Joaquim Rodriguez με 16 δεύτερα διαφορά. Ο αθλητής της Garmin-Barracuda’s κατάφερε να ξεπεράσει το έλλειμμα των 31- δευτερολέπτων στο κατηφορικό τμήμα των 28 χλμ της διαδρομής προς το Μιλάνο. Έτσι εκθρόνισε τον αναβάτη της Katusha και ανέβηκε στο βάθρο σε αυτό το συγκλονιστικό τελευταίο στάδιο.
Σε δηλώσεις του πριν την απονομή ο 31χρονος Καναδός, κάτοχος του φετινού τίτλου, τόνισε πόσο θαυμάσια και απίστευτη εμπειρία ήταν για αυτόν ο Γύρος από το πρώτο μέχρι το τελευταίο ετάπ.
Ο Rodriguez τερμάτισε 47 δεύτερα πίσω από τον Hesjedal και έχασε τη ροζ φανέλα του νικητή που κατείχε από 15ο ετάπ..
