Vincenzo Nibali’s prediction of a podium finish might not quite come true, but Antonio Tiberi has shown enough in this Giro d’Italia to suggest that he has a future as a Grand Tour rider.
With four stages remaining, the Italian lies fifth overall at 10:29, while the white jersey of best young rider sits a little more snugly on the Bahrain Victorious rider's shoulders after the summit finish on the Passo Brocon on stage 17.
