well the giro has been run and won by birillo with a couple of other italians rounding out the podium. the aussies scored well taking all the minor jerseys as well as three stage wins.
as for the tipping comp, the lead in the general classification yo-yo’ed every couple of stages as the giro threw up a number of surprises. the mountains points went down to the very last day as there was a tie heading into the time trial and the sprinters points was pretty close too. there were a few lucky tipsters that grabbed a stage win after it had jackpotted for a couple of stages, so had that category pretty much sewn up.
the final leaderboard can be found here.
