 Basso won his first Giro d'Italia in 2006
|
Italian Ivan Basso avoided trouble in the concluding time-trial to win his second Giro d'Italia title.
Basso, who had claimed the pink jersey in the mountains on Friday, fended off Spain's David Arroyo. Basso's Liquigas team-mate Vincenzo Nibali was third.
It was 32-year-old Basso's first major race win since returning following a two-year doping ban in 2007.
Sweden's Gustav Erik Larsson won the final 15-km (9.3-mile) stage around Verona in 20 minutes, 19 seconds.
