 After so many near misses, and so many setbacks, Pierre Rolland delivered Cannondale-Drapac colours to win stage 17 Giro d'Italia in nail-biting fashion. The 30-year-old was certainly forced to do it the hard way – attacking as part of a three-man move at the start of the 219-kilometre stage before jumping clear once more from a group of around 25 with 7.6 kilometres to go.
