LA PLANCHE DES BELLES FILLES, France (Reuters) - Giulio Ciccone reached his season's goal when he won the Maglia Azzurra (blue) for the mountains classification at the Giro d'Italia, but little did he know that there was much more to come.

The bonus came in the form of the yellow jersey of the Tour de France, a race that did not feature on his schedule.
