Tre Cime di Lavaredo
Having picked up the overall race lead after the eighth stage, rider Vincenzo Nibali was able to hold onto the race leadership for the entire second half of the Giro, and as a result, achieved the second Grand Tour general classification victory of his career; he had previously won the 2010 Vuelta a España for the team. Nibali held a 41-second lead margin over 's Cadel Evans until the fourteenth stage, when Nibali attacked on the final climb to the outside Bardonecchia, and was able to gain 45 seconds on Evans by finishing second to 's Mauro Santambrogio. Nibali later won two stages during the final week of the race, further extending his overall advantage, and eventually completed the race with a winning margin of close to five minutes. Evans was unable to hold onto second place overall, as he faded on the final climb of the race to Tre Cime di Lavaredo; he ultimately finished third overall behind rider Rigoberto Urán, who had become his squad's leader after Bradley Wiggins was forced to withdraw.
