| Your final stage winner at this year's Giro, Mark Cavendish (OPQS), bookends with opening and closing wins “I’m addicted to winning, its simple. Since I was a child, in everything I did, it wasn’t enough to be the best I could be, I had to be the best of everyone. Then, when you have a team around you, dedicated to you, you have to give 100%. I’m paid good money and I have to win so, if someone comes along and beats me, I go home and work harder and come back faster.” | share this photo | |

I’ve had some of the best results of my career, and I hope this Maglia Bianca is the start of even better things in the future. Even so, Urán is a rider with a great future, a great climber and fast against the clock, so I think he’ll probably beat me to becoming the first Colombian to win the Giro.” | share this photo | |
