Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) salvaged his Giro d'Italia with an emotional victory on stage 19, but it was the demise of the maglia rosa, Steven Kruijswijk, who crashed on the Cima Coppi descent that proved to be the most dramatic moment. Kruijswijk struggled to the finish to hold third overall behind new race leader Esteban Chaves (Orica-GreenEdge).
