MONTE ZONCOLAN, Italy -- Nairo Quintana virtually clinched the Giro dItalia
title Saturday with a strong ride up the demanding Monte Zoncolan, while Michael
Rogers benefited from a fan interruption to post his second stage victory of the
race.

ahead of fellow Colombian Rigoberto Uran remained unchanged entering Sundays
final stage. "Its 99 per cent done," said Quintana, who shed some tears during
the podium celebration. "They were tears of happiness. Ive achieved one of the
big goals in my life." Francesco Manuel Bongiorno was right on Rogers wheel with
three kilometres (two miles) to go when a fan pushed him hard enough on the back
that he had to break to avoid hitting Rogers and took his left foot off the
pedal. "Im very bitter," Bongiorno said. "On a climb like that when you lose
your balance its impossible. ... Maybe this incident will be good for the
future. The fans give us strength but they need to (learn)." By the time
Bongiorno got going again on a stretch of road where the gradient was 15 per
cent, Rogers had already opened up a significant lead. "I wasnt aware," Rogers
said. "Im sorry for Bongiorno. Hes a good kid and rode hard. I tried to drop him
many times. ... Unfortunately this happens often." Rogers, an Australian with
Tinkoff-Saxo, clocked 4 hours, 41 minutes, 55 seconds over the 167-kilometre
(104-mile) leg, which started in Maniago. Franco Pellizotti finished second, 38
seconds behind, and Bongiorno crossed third, 49 seconds back. Quintana finished
17th in the stage, 4:45 back, with Uran right behind him. Quintana was runner-up
to Chris Froome in last years Tour de France and this would be his first Grand
Tour victory. "This year I dont think Ill be at the Tour but next year well
probably try it," Quintana said. The Movistar rider was then asked if he would
consider riding both the Giro and Tour next year. "Its possible," he said. "Weve
talked about it with the team manager. Well evaluate both options." Rogers, a
three-time time trial champion, was recently cleared after a doping accusation
and also won the 11th stage. Last month, the UCI accepted that meat Rogers ate
in China probably caused his positive test last year. Clenbuterol is widely
administered to Chinese livestock to build muscle and reduce fat. Days later,
Rogers tested positive at the Japan Cup. The UCI disqualified Rogers from the
Japanese race but consulted the World Anti-Doping Agency before deciding he
should not be sanctioned any further. "The last kilometres were a dream," Rogers
said. "Ive always dreamed of winning an uphill stage like this and this is the
first time Ive been able to." The race ends Sunday with a mostly flat
172-kilometre (107-mile) leg from Gemona del Friuli to Trieste.
