Alberto Contador stayed safe into the finale in Milan to claim the first leg of his Giro-Tour double victory goal for this year. He did lose another 9 seconds on 2nd place finisher Fabio Aru because of gaps that developed in the peloton during the technical and twisty 7 lap circuit for the finishing route. But Contador's victory was cemented by containing his losses on the dirt road up to Finestre. The spiraling climb with all its hairpin curves produced almost Escher like perspectives. For some reason, a BMC rider down at the bottom of the picture is wearing a Sky Team's vest.
