This is the tenth anniversary of one of the closest grand tours of all-time, decided by just 16 seconds after a two-week tussle between two very different riders. The Canadian Ryder Hesjedal and the Spaniard Joaquim Rodriguez took turns wearing the maglia roas as if they were playing a game of pass the parcel. It was an intriguing clash of styles too – the patient diesel versus the jack-in-the-box. In this two-part Kilometre 0, Lionel Birnie speaks to the boss of the Garmin-Barracuda team Jonathan Vaughters, first-time sports director Charly Wegelius, and one of the key support riders Christian Vande Velde about how they pulled it off. Just a few months earlier the team had almost ceased to exist and yet after a steady start in Copenhagen and a great team time trial when the race reached Italy they found themselves in the mix.
