Froome won the giro, flipping the giro d’Italia in a stage like Floyd Landis back in 2006.

Technically he did a Pink Floyd….

The team who had the best GC riders were:

• Augusto Sansoni’s “Chianti Cycling team”
• Edward Caley’s “Chris Froome is innocent”

We had a record of 31 teams this year:

The winners of the Giro are:

• Pink Jersey: Alessio Ciardi with his “Atletico Lasonil”
• Mountain Jersey: Lorenzo Lampiano with his “Se la pioggia fosse transitiva, io ti temporalo”
• Black Jersey: Massimiliano Cividini with his “coppa Cobram”
• Black Mountain Jersey: Beatrice Andreola with her “Pere Pere Team”
• Best Rookie – Diego Lupp’s “Cernobbio Cycling Team”
• Most Stage Wins – Edward Caley’s “Chris Froome is innocent” – 9 Wins

ETERNAL GLORY to all of you:

Here the HALL OF FAME –> Giro hall of fame

Special Mentions: (it always takes me a couple of these to write the last post)

• Annalies Crab’s “The Pink Knight” – Annalies is the first woman in this competition – She fought hard but was only second
• Antonio Fusi’s “Stella Rossa Firenze Ciclisti Proletari” – After many years finally on the podium
• Jeroen Vandeput’s “Molteni” – just 1 point of the podium
• Augusto Sansoni’s “Chianti Cycling team” – Some good wine is always welcome
• Claudio Ceni’s “Como C’enno” – Initially a pink jersey, he finished in the top 10 without winning any stage (like Balmamion)
• Rene Van Noort’s “Saludos Torremolinos” – Started quietly but became dangerous towards the end of the giro, winning 2 stages and climbing positions
• Claudio Mandressi’s “Pedalemolle Team” – Wins the battle against his brother
• Stefano Mandressi’s “MAS – Memento Audere Semper” – Consolation price in family for winning 4 stages versus 0 of your brother

• Andrea Munisso’s “Insomnia” – for his pictures in Nervesa
• Daniele Pontiggia’s “AS Tronzo” – A past winner , always dangerous

• Loris Favarato’s “Finoallafine” – Do not mix football with cycling please
• Eros Munras (or Murtas) ‘s “Manubri Velocis team” – on the day where everybody scored tons of points in the mountains, he stayed well behind
• Mario Bisicchia’s “Gazzo Riders” – was able to score 0 points for some 7 stages and yet not be the black jersey
• Stefano Bernasconi’s “Drink Team” – a hard fight for black
• Alessandro Mariani’s “VanPoppeDaPaura” – we love your team name
