00:00 The final stage of the Giro d'Italia, 126 kilometers around Rome.
00:05 Jumbo Visma celebrating the pink jersey of Primož RogliÄ.
00:08 A ceremonial stage to celebrate for the Slovenian and a wonderful occasion.
00:13 Alongside Geraint Thomas, the man he vanquished into second place.
00:16 When eventually the race reached the final circuit, which they took on six times,
00:22 a group of three riders got up the road, including Tom Skunc from Trek Segafredo.
00:27 He, of the three riders in the breakaway, had the most to get,
00:31 as he managed to edge out Derek G for the first of two intermediate sprints,
00:37 to move within touching distance of winning the intermediate sprint standing.
00:41 Something he did overall, but eventually those three riders were caught,
00:45 as the run-in for an expected bunch sprint continued as per normal.
00:50 Mark Cavendish picking the wheels and coming off the wheel of Fernando Gaviria,
00:54 with Jonathan Milan already looking as though he might be beaten.
00:57 Cavendish waiting and now releasing his sprint to roar clear
01:00 and to claim his career 17th victory at the Giro d'Italia.
01:04 A crash behind, but an emphatic victory for Mark Cavendish,
01:07 who has never left the Giro d'Italia in his final edition without winning a stage.
01:13 It was Pascal Ackermann behind, who went down very heavily.
01:16 Patrick Conrad also going down, but Cavendish, well his victory of margin was emphatic.
01:23 Behind the stage winner then, Primoz Roglic in the Maglia Rosa was crossing on his own,
01:28 but the win went to Mark Cavendish.
01:30 I'm super happy.
01:34 It was a long, hard slog to get here to the end of the Giro,
01:39 but we felt close a couple of times before.
01:43 My boys did incredible and my friends did incredible.
01:50 Are you talking about Geraint Thomas?
01:52 I just had some great friends today, long-time friends.
01:56 It was pretty emotional to be fair.
02:02 38 years of age and still racing at the very highest level,
02:06 Mark Cavendish will go from the Giro to the Tour de France.
02:09 He wins with Jake Stewart also popping up for Great Britain in 6th place.
02:15 Well, Drahl made up, finished the race in 3rd overall,
02:20 his first ever podium and a first podium at a Grand Tour for Portugal since 1979.
02:25 Geraint Thomas reluctantly having to settle for 2nd place.
02:28 And Primoz Roglic after that astonishing individual time trial,
02:31 in victory in Rome and in triumph, a first ever Giro win for the Slovenian.
02:37 Roglic the winner in 2023.
02:39 His margin of victory, just 14 seconds in the end to Geraint Thomas,
02:45 one of the closest in Grand Tour histories.
