Giro d´Italia 2008

Alberto Contador overcame 12 years of Italian domination to win the 91st Giro d'Italia. Denied the opportunity to defend his 2007 Tour de France win, the 25-year-old Spaniard and his powerful team came to the 2008 Giro on a mission to prove they were still cycling's best.

Flanked by 2008 Tour of California winner Levi Leipheimer and this year's Romandie champion Andreas Kloden, Contador showed impressive time trialling form and tenacity in the mountains despite the incessant aggressive attacks by second place finisher Ricardo Ricco. 2007 winner Di Luca lacked the dominant form he displayed last year, but hung tough through the race until being dropped by the favorites on the daunting slopes of the Passo del Mortirolo. Punctuating the race was the dual between Daniele Bennati and Mark Cavendish over the sprinters points while Emanuele Selle ran away with the Mountain jersey.
