Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) became the first Slovenian to win the Giro d'Italia title after he retained the overall lead while Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) riding his last-ever Giro, sprinted furiously to claim victory in the final stage of the Giro d'Italia.
The 33-year-old, Primoz Roglic captured the pink jersey with a powerful performance in Saturday’s penultimate stage and finished Sunday’s ceremonial 126-km flat route perfectly as Mark Cavendish produced a remarkable performance to win the last stage.
Cavendish, who will retire at the end of the season, marked his final appearance at the Giro with a sensational sprint victory, clinching his first victory for Astana Qazaqstan and a 17th career win at the Giro.
Jumbo Visma-rider Roglic finished 14 seconds ahead of Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) and one minute, 15 seconds before Joao Almeida of UAE Team Emirates in the overall standings to add a first Giro title to his three Vuelta triumphs from 2019-21.
