Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) seals overrall title of 2017 Giro d'Italia.

It was a double victory for the Netherlands, as Jos van Emden (LottoNL-Jumbo) took the stage win. He put in an early good time of 33:08 on the 29.3km course into Milan, finishing 15 seconds ahead of Dumoulin's time. BMC's Manuel Quinziato, retiring at the end of the year, was third at 27 seconds.

 Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) put in a nearly perfect time trial to win the 100th Giro d’Italia. He finished second on Sunday's 21st and final stage to claim the overall victory. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) was able to rescue second place in the general classification, 31 seconds down, with Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain Merida) third at 40 seconds. FDJ's Thibaut Pinot, who began the day in third on GC, dropped off the final podium to finish in fourth place overall.

Thibaut Pinot (Team FDJ) wins stage 20 in Asiago, Giro d'Italia.

 Stage 20 got off to a royal start with Sheikh Nasser of Bahrain on hand to wish his Bahrain-Merida team and Vincenzo Nibali luck on the final mountain stage. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) was also in the group and easily held on to his overall lead.

Nibali and Pinot hopscotched over Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) on the general classification leaderboard, but the Dutchman remains well-positioned with one stage to go.

Dumoulin finished the day as fourth on the general classification, 53 seconds down. Not the gap for which any of Quintana, Pinot or Nibali had hoped ahead of Sunday's time trial finale.

 Maglia rosa Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) had to battle hard to come back from stomach problems, finishing more than two minutes down and keeping his race lead by just a few seconds.

 222km stage would feature an ascent of the Mortirolo, the Stelvio and the Umbrailpass, as formidable a day as any in Grand Tour racing. Before the riders focussed on their own travails on the bike, they took a moment to reflect as the organisers held a minute's silence to remember those that had died in the terrorist attack in Manchester on Monday night. In their minds were also former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden and triathlete Julia Viellehner, who both passed away after being hit by vehicles while cycling.

Bob Jungels (Quick-Step Floor's) wins stage 15 in Bergamo, Italy.

Bob Jungels (Quick-Sep Floor's) wins stage 15 in Bergamo, Giro d'Italia.

 The Quick-Step Floors rider beat out a small select group which had formed in the final kilometres of the stage. It was a hard fought sprint with a surprising second place for Nairo Quintana (Movistar), and Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) in third.

 The result for Quintana pulls back six seconds in the overall classification in time bonuses, but Tom Dumoulin was in the group as well, finishing seventh, and so successfully defended his overall lead going into the final rest day. He now leads Quintana by 2:41 and Pinot by 3:21.

 The day saw several serious crashes, with the victims including 10th ranked Tanel Kangert (Astana), who hit an unmarked sign in the middle of the road.
 Quintana also hit the ground in a separate incident but was obviously uninjured.

 The decisive move was initiated by Jungels after much work in the final kilometres by Vincenzo Nibali and his Bahrain-Merida team. He closed down the early breakaway, then led over the Bergamo Alto before being joined by the majority of the other top GC candidates. Dumoulin initially missed the split and had to chase across inside the final 2km.

Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) wins stage 14 atop Oropa, Giro d'Italia.

Tom Domoulin (Team Sunweb) outsprints Ilnur Zakarin (Katusha) to win stage 14 atop Oropa and extends lead in the general classification battle, Giro d'Italia.

 The sun was shining at the start in Castellania as the peloton took off on the shortest road stage of this year’s Giro d’Italia, only 131 km. Roughly the first 100 km of the day was pan out flat before the finishing climb, so an escape group was expected.

 The stage win pushed race leader Dumoulin further ahead of his chief rivals on the overall leaderboard. Including the bonus seconds he claimed at the line, Dumoulin picked up a total of 24 seconds on Quintana and 53 on Bahrain-Merida's Vincenzo Nibali. The Dutchman now leads Quintana by 2:47 with FDJ's Thibaut Pinot sitting third on GC at 3:25.
