Flying Solo G18-94
Mikel Nieve's (Mitchelton-Scott) gamble paid off big. Nieve, who spent most of this Giro working for his team leader, Simon Yates, showed just how strong of a climber he is. He road all of the final climb on his own gaining time on all of the rest of those left in the race on the way to Cervinia and his team's sixth stage victory. I have grown use to seeing less exciting vehicles as race cars, but leave it to the Giro d'Italia to use the gorgeous Alpha Romeos to ride the race directors and referees around. Not bad, not bad at all.
