It was a bit strange to see the Red Jersey of Chris Froome (Sky) along with his teammate, Ian Stannard mixing it up for an intermediate sprint on the final stage. The way the math works, Matteo Trentin (Quickstep) had to win both the intermediate sprint - he did - and the stage - he did and Froome had to not place better than thirteenth at the finish for Trentin to win Green. Trentin did his part with the help of his teammates, Niki Terpstra, Bob Jungels and Tim Declercq. However, Froome was able to sprint to a tenth place across the finish line claiming Green, Red and White for himself. He must have looked like the Italian flag when he tried to wear all three of his trophies from the Vuelta together.
