Vincenzo Nibali won the 16th stage
of the Giro d'Italia featuring the tough Stelvio Pass climb
Tuesday while the other pre-race favourite, Colombia's Nairo
Qunitana, came in 13 seconds behind to both eat into leader Tom
Dumoulin's lead.
Dumoulin now holds a 31-second lead over Quintana, who is
second, and a one minute 12 second lead over Nobali, who is
third.
The Dutchman came in 2'17'' behind the Sicilian 'Shark'.
"It was a beautiful stage, I sped into every turn on the
descent, my compliments to Quintana," Nibali said after the
stage, which also featured another steepling and fabled climb,
the Mortirolo.
