A stage winner in 2012 at the Giro d'Italia, Roberto Ferrari recorded the best result yet at the 100th edition of the Italian Grand Tour as he finished second to Andre Greipel in Tortoli. The result was Ferrari's best at the Giro since 2014 having failed to crack the top-20 in the last two editions of the race.
