Dutchman Tom Dumoulin produced a brilliant ride in the closing time trial to clinch a memorable victory in the Giro d'Italia.
The Team Sunweb rider began the day fourth overall but he is a superb time trialist and his second-place finish on the day, behind compatriot Jos van Emden, proved good enough for victory.
Overnight leader Nairo Quintana was 27th fastest on Sunday, one minute, 24 seconds behind Dumoulin, and the Colombian therefore finished second overall, 31 seconds behind the winner.
Last year's winner Vincenzo Nibali took third place overall, a further 40 seconds back.
It is a first Grand Tour win for Dumoulin, who led for much of the race but lost time to Quintana and Nibali in the mountains on Friday and Saturday.
But he did well to limit his losses and began Sunday's final day just 53 seconds behind, and with the flat 29km route from Monza's Formula One race track to Milan's cathedral sure to suit.
And the 26-year-old duly delivered the goods to become the first ever Dutch winner of the famous race.
Quintana, the 2014 winner, harboured hopes of a Giro/Tour de France double this summer but had to settle for the second spot on the podium.
Nibali and Thibaut Pinot came in third and fourth overall, having started the final day in contention, while van Emden finished 15 seconds ahead of Dumoulin to win the stage in 33 minutes 23 seconds.
The triumphant Dumoulin said: "It's really crazy, I cannot describe it with words.
"It was such a nerve-racking day. I was super nervous from the beginning of the day and needed to stay calm.
"But I did it, I had good legs and I just went for it. I pulled it off, it was incredible."
Great Britain's Adam Yates was edged out of the race for the white jersey, given to the fastest finisher under the age of 25, by Bob Jungels of Luxembourg.
Yates, who earned the honour at last year's Tour de France, held a 28-second lead over Jungels, but the latter was in control from the off in the final stage and bested the Team Orica rider's time by more than a minute.
