So many ways to read the meaning of the title of this painting. First, Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) is within sight of the finish line in Montefalco. Another, his ride today but him within sight of the podium in the general classification of the 100th Giro d'Italia. And finally, the crowds along the barriers at the end of the race were thrilled when there home boy came into sight with such a great time out on course. Nibali stayed in fifth placed on GC, but definitely tightened up the time gaps from yesterday. Now second place and tenth place are only two and three quarter minutes apart - which is almost the same gap between first and second place.
