Correction to original first place winner announcement: 
The first place winner is Herman van Iterson of the Netherlands, not Laudelino Cubino as I previously announced. Herman runs a Kelme email fan club and is hoping to start a Kelme website soon. He has been kind enough to send in a photo of himself and Aitor Gonzalez Jimenez, taken at the Giro in Groningen, Holland. The photo is here. 

This year's Giro definitely provided for interesting content, and we had great entries in the Giro Jersey Writing Competition, co-sponsored by bikejersey.com!  We are happy to announce the winner of the contest and the runners up.

The winner is:
Green Kelmes Color the Giro by Herman van Iterson.

The second place entry is:
The Giro '02 by Bryan Gioannini

We had a three-way tie for third place:
The 2002 Giro d'Italia: The Last Gasp or A New Hope? by Patrick Sharp

The Giro: A rider looks back at days of storm and sunshine by Susan Westemeyer

A TALE FOR EVERYTIME! by Francesco Grandi

The three third place entries can be read here.

Congratulations to Herman! It is especially fitting that Herman's winning entry is very much about the green, and his prize is the great green Giro King of the Mountain Jersey!

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all who entered - your work was terrific!
