Vincenzo Niballi (Bahrain-Merida) wins overrall Tour Du Croatia 2017.

Sacha Modolo (UAE Team) solos to final of Tour of Croatia.

Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) seals overall victory of Tour Du Croatia, wresting the win from Spaniard Jaime Roson (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) on the final stage.

The Italian took the first intermediate sprint bonus to move ahead in the GC, and then gapped Roson in the finish to win the overall by eight seconds.

Jan Hirt (CCC Sprandi Polkowice) rounded out the podium. Sacha Modolo (UAE Team Emirates) won the final stage by two seconds over teammate Jan Polanc and Boy van Poppel (Trek-Segafredo), with Nibali in fourth.

 I'm happy I completed a very good performance by the team, Modolo said after jumping away on the twisting, cobbled finale. "Jan and I obtained an impressive double. The finale was not easy, it was necessary to have power and stamina, I had good feelings. My morale in view of the Giro d'Italia is high." Roson was in a group seven seconds down on Nibali, having conceded the race lead in the day's first intermediate sprint. Nibali surprised Caja Rural by attacking for the first sprint bonus, just 3.8km into the stage, and Roson was disappointed to have missed out on a big result for his palmares.
