By The Numbers: Americans At The 2017 Giro d'Italia
Full breakdown below looking at statistics of American riders at the 2017 Giro d'Italia compared to the past five editions of the race. Tejay van Garderen (BMC) earned the highest GC finish since Christian Vande Velde's (Garmin-Barracuda) 22nd in 2012. Van Garderen also recorded the first stage win for an American since Taylor Phinney (BMC) won the prologue in 2012.

When Tyler Farrar (Garmin Sharp) was at his peak in 2014, he was in the mix on the sprint stages throughout the race on his way to 8th overall in the points classification. After a quiet Giro in 2015, the past two years have seen US athletes making their presence felt once more.
