On the strength of an amazing time trial performance in the race’s final stage, Hesjedal was able to overcome a 31 second deficit to Joaquim Rodriguez of the Katusha team. It is the first Grand Tour victory for a Garmin rider and the first time a Canadian has won a Grand Tour. Park Tool is the official tool supplier to Garmin Barracuda.
