  • Ron 

Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) has won the 2022 Giro d’Italia, wearing the final Maglia Rosa of the General Classification leader and raising the Trofeo Senza Fine. Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) and Mikel Landa Meana (Bahrain Victorious) finished second and third.

At the finish, Hindley said: “I had in the back of my mind what happened in 2020 and I wasn’t going to let that happen again. I was getting updates and I felt pretty good on the bike. So in the end I could take corners cautiously. I’m a proud Australian and I’m delighted to take this win home, being the first Australian to win the Giro d’Italia.”

Matteo Sorberò

Matteo Sobrero (Team BikeExchange-Jayco) won Stage 21, the 17.4km Cronometro delle Colline Veronesi TISSOT ITT. Thymen Arensman (Team DSM) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) finished second and third, respectively.

“It’s an amazing feeling, I still have to recognise everything,” said Sobrero after the win. “But I’m really, really happy with the team, we won the first time trial and we won the last day, two TTs. We did really hard work in the winter with our partners, with Giant, Cadex, Ale Cycling, and this is the result. All the work paid off.

“Basically, the main goal of the day was I put the finish line at the top of the GPM and I said ‘I have to give everything until there’, then on the descent, I have to give what is left later. It’s unbelievable!”
