During the neutral role out, and through much of the early part of the stage (more about that later), riders had sometime to chat, congratulate each other, and generally revel in getting through to the final stage of the 101st Giro d'Italia. Giuseppe Fonzi (Wilier Triestina) mad sure to congratulate Chriss Froome (Sky). The pair represent the fastest, the Maglia Rosa and the slowest finisher, in the Tour de France, it is called the lantern rouge, here it is the Maglia Nera (black jersey). While there was breifly an actual jersey awarded, now it is just a dubious honor. For Fonzi, he was an animator of many break aways, so has no reason to hang his head. Plus unlike some twenty plus riders, he made it to the final stage. Beside the two, you can just see Elia Viviani (Quickstep) leaning in to chat with another rider on Team Sky.
