Rujano finished seventh: what a fantastic Giro!
Alberto Contador, 94th Giro d’Italia outstanding winner, was not the sole one celebrating a happy day in Milan, where the pink race came to end today, Sunday, May 29th. Bianchi and Team Androni completed an exciting Giro d’Italia in which the squad leaded by Gianni Savio and equipped by “Bianchi Oltre” bike was in the front line from the start-up in Turin to the end, with two stage wins and an unbelievable number of podium and top-5 placements.

But the main good news of this Giro was Androni’s Josè Rujano indeed, who completed one of the hardest stage race in recent history with a seventh place in the overall. The Venezuelan rider dropped from sixth after time trial stage, with white jersey Roman Kreuziger as beneficiary. However, his Giro was fantastic: with a stunning win on Grossglockner top, runner-up on Etna and Sestriere, Rujano put the seal on what has been a hugely successful return to form.

Michele Scarponi and Vincenzo Nibali rounded-off Giro’s podium, both over 6 minutes behind the Spaniard who controlled the race from the moment he surged away from the field to win on Mount Etna taking over the leader’s maglia rosa.
