Rabobank cyclist Denis Menchov of Russia rides to the finish line to win the Giro d'Italia in Rome May 31, 2009. Menchov survived a fall on a rain-hit final stage to win the Giro d'Italia in dramatic fashion in Rome on Sunday. The Rabobank rider looked certain for victory in the world's second biggest stage race with a 20-second lead before Sunday's 14.4km time-trial, which was better suited to him than nearest rival Italian Danilo Di Luca.
