Bob Jungels (Quick Step Floors) retained the Maglia Rosa for a third day after Silvan Dillier (BMC) out sprinted his breakaway companions to take the win on stage six. Geraint Thomas and Adam Yates remain second and third

Fernando Gaviria proved to be the day’s champ at the end of stage five, as he bested Sam Bennett and Andre Greipel in Messina. The sprint victory came after a Luke Pibernik (Bahrain-Merida) celebrated a lap too early.

Following the first rest day, Jan Polanc (UAE Team Emirates) won stage four of the 2017 Giro d’Italia, after riding away from the peloton in the opening kilometres and holding a lead, whilst his break away companions dropped back. It was this day that saw Jungles take the GC lead, from Fernando Gaviria who won stage three.

Before Gaviria laid claim to the maglia rosa, it sat on the shoulders of André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal), who won the stage two bunch finish – a very different finale to what we saw during the closing kilometre of stage one, when Pöstlberger ambushed the peloton to seize a surprise win.
