Tom Last brings you everything that's been going on in the world of cycling, including a final week of the Giro that was packed with incident. Nairo Quintana took control of the Maglia Rosa and kept it all the way to the last finish line in Trieste, with fellow Colombian Rigoberto Uran finishing 2nd overall.

Several big name riders were racing elsewhere in Europe. Geraint Thomas of Team Sky won the Bayern Rundfahrt, while Tony Martin took control of the Tour of Belgium after another good display on the TT bike.

To round things off, we check in on our Strava club, and we also have our regular features: tweet, tech and caption of the week.
