O'Connor aiming high once more at Giro d'Italia

Australian climber Ben O'Connor's dreams of finishing in the top 10 of his very first Grand Tour literally came crashing down just two days out from the finish of last year's Giro d'Italia when the Dimension Data rider fell on the descent of the Col de Sestrière, breaking his collarbone and ending his race after almost three weeks of mature, consistent riding that saw him go into that 19th stage in 12th place overall.
