Hesjedal wins Giro d'Italia on the final day.
August 23, 2024
Ryder Hesjedal’s victory in the 2012 Giro d’Italia was a moment of pure triumph. On the final day in Milan, with the pink jersey draped proudly over his shoulders, he made history, becoming the first Canadian to win the prestigious race. Traveling through Italy in pursuit of the Giro, I was swept away by the beauty of the landscapes—sunset over the Dolomites, rolling vineyards, and coastal towns. The passion of the fans along every stretch of road was infectious. It was more than just racing; it was a celebration of sport, and the joy it brings to people across the world.
