It has been a Giro d'Italia to remember for Irish cyclist Sam Bennett. On the day one of professional cycling's Grand Tours came to its conclusion, Bennett claimed his third stage win.
After two sensational stage wins throughout the Giro, Bennett's late run here was perhaps the best of all. Looking all but destined to finish a tired runner-up, Bennett somehow found the energy to dig in and claim a remarkable win.

Unbelievable bike control by Sam Bennett and @eliaviviani in the final @giroditalia sprint. Just watch the rear wheels skipping on the cobbles as they powered to the line. #immense
