Nairo Quintana showed why he’s considered as cycling’s next star by winning the Giro d’Italia to follow his runner-up finish in last year’s Tour de France. The 24-year-old climbing specialist with the Movistar team won two stages and finished with a 3 minute, 7 second advantage over fellow Colombian Rigoberto Uran for his first Grand Tour victory. Fabio Aru, a 23-year-old Italian who is also considered a top rider for the future, finished third overall, 4:04 back. Quintana took the pink jersey by winning the gruelling 16th stage over the Gavia and Stelvio climbs then also won the 19th leg, a mountain time trial.
