Well done to Ivan on winning the Giro - he has much to celebrate, a new baby boy and the Giro under his belt - fingers crossed for the Tour.



He even relented on the final stage and agreed to ride with pink helmet, handlebar tape and saddle:



It's a shame Simoni is souring the win, alleging Basso offered him money to win the previous stage and refused to shake his hand.

I may be biased but I doubt very much there is any truth in the allegations and it's sour grapes from Salvodelli.
