Mark Cavendish wins final stage of Giro d’Italia as Roglic takes overall victory

Mark Cavendish marked his last appearance at the Giro d’Italia with a sensational sprint victory in the final stage, surging over the line to seal a fairytale finish for the Manxman.

The 38-year-old, who announced earlier in the race that he will retire from cycling at the end of the season, was helped to victory by his fellow Briton, Geraint Thomas, who saw his dreams of overall Giro victory dashed by Primoz Roglic on Saturday.

“I’m super happy,” said a smiling Cavendish afterwards. “It was a long, hard slog to get here to the end of the Giro … my boys did incredible, my friends did incredible.

“I had some great friends today, longtime friends. It’s pretty emotional to be fair … to win here in Rome, it’s beautiful.”

Thomas is unlikely to visit the remote corner of north-eastern Italy ever again, where, on Saturday afternoon, the Slovenian Roglic wrenched the maglia rosa of Giro d’Italia leadership from the Welshman’s weary shoulders in one of the most dramatic reversals in the history of cycling’s Grand Tours.

Roglic’s devastating performance, in the mountain time trial to Monte Lussari, was the equal of Tadej Pogacar’s in the penultimate stage of the 2020 Tour de France on La Planche des Belles Filles, when he overhauled his compatriot to claim his first yellow jersey.
