Chris Froome became the first British
winner of the Giro d'Italia as the world's second-biggest stage
race ended in Rome on Sunday.
The Team Sky rider, who staged a breathtaking ride on Friday
to take the Pink Jersey, already knew he had won before the end
of the stage as it was neutralised, reportedly because the
riders considered the state of the roads to be dangerous.
Froome has now joined the elite club of riders who have won
all three of the grand tours, having won the Tour de France four
times and the Vuelta a Espana once.
Ireland's Sam Bennett beat Elia Viviani in the sprint to
clinch the final stage.
