Tadej Pogacar won the Giro d'Italia on his debut by completing a processional final stage through Rome on Sunday.
He finished nine minutes 56 seconds ahead of second placed Daniel Martinez of Colombia in the overall standings, with Britain's Geraint Thomas 10 minutes 24 seconds behind the winner in third. The final stage of 125km in Rome produced a frantic finish in which Tim Merlier beat Jonathan Milan, who had suffered a puncture with nine kilometres to go, in a sprint finish to claim a third stage win of the race.
Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard has won the last two editions of the Tour de France but his level of fitness is unclear"I've really enjoyed it, it's been a good group of guys," the Welshman, who will retire at the end of next season, told Eurosport.
