Hindley limited his losses to closest rival Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) to just seven seconds in the decisive 17.4km time trial to secure the overall victory by 1:18 over the Ecuadorian 2019 champion and ensure that there was no repeat of his 2020 nightmare when Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart wrested the pink jersey from his shoulders at the eleventh hour.

A powerful finish to Saturday's final mountainous Giro stage gave Hindley a commanding lead over Carapaz in the general classification, meaning he just had to avoid disaster in Verona to claim his first Grand Tour title, which he did with ease.
