@maurten_official Demi Vollering — Giro d'Italia winner. The Grand Tour trilogy is complete. Had the ice sheet been stable, allowing stage 8 to finish in Sestriere as planned, it would only have served to rob us of the opportunity to witness Demi's virtuoso adaptability. Taking the win through astute cornering and an awareness to read the road under the duress of altitude and the complexity of a rapidly evolving racing situation was a stamp of authority that acted as her launchpad into stage 9. Now it was about confidence and power. For a while the race was allowed to go away and briefly another rider was permitted to hold the virtual Maglia Rosa. But there was an air of impermanence, dictated by Demi holding the race on a leash — maintaining a gap that kept her within range. The whole day was underpinned by her unwavering trust that, when it mattered most, the legs would answer the call to go all-in. It wasn't inevitable — it was brave and self-assured. A Giro won with panache.
