In a Giro in which the mountains played such a central role, it was fitting that everyone who had anything left in the tank threw it all on the line.

When I described the course of the Giro’s final time trial to my cab driver as we drove from my hotel to the Milan central train station, “That’s horrendous! I’m going to stay home that day; there’s no point to even taking my taxi out!”
