One stage to go at the Giro D'Italia for Ryder Hesjedal.
Currently 31 seconds behind the overall leader, Hesjdal has a chance to take over the lead in the time trials. If he succeeds, and he is very strong in time trials, he will become the first Canadian to ever win a major cycling event.
Hesjedal put in a fantastic performance, only surpassed by the incredible display by Belgian rider Thomas De Gent, in Stage 20 climbing the iconic Stelvio with an average gradient of 10% and as high as 22%. At 9000 feet, it's the highest level of any race in the world.
