Australia's Jai Hindley outsprinted Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart to win the 18th stage of the 103rd Giro d'Italia, a 207km high-mountain leg from Pinzolo near Trento to Laghi di Cancano near Sondrio.
    Dutchman Wilco Kelderman, who came in fifth 2'18'' behind Hindley, grabbed the leader's pink jersey from Portugal's Joao Almeida.
    Kelderman has a few seconds on second-placed Hindley and third-placed Geoghegan Hart in the general classification.
    Almeida trailed in seventh, 4'51'' behind Hindley, and Italian favourite Vincenzo 'The Shark' Nibal came eighth with the same time as the former leader.
    Kelderman, with an overall time of 77h46'56", precedes his teammate Hindley, second at 12"; with Hart third at 15". Fourth is Spain's Pello Bilbao, at '19"; fifth Almeida, now at 2'16" from the lead. Nibali is eighth, 5'47" back and now out of the race for final glory in Milan on Sunday.
    Nibali said: "It was a tough day and, even though nothing happened yesterday, the 5,000 metres of climb today made themselves felt on everyone's legs. On the Stelvio there was a strong pace right from the start, with Sunweb pushing. When it was 8-9 km from the top, and we were already 2,000 metres high, there was a further acceleration by the Ineos riders, with Geoghegan Hart and Dennis.
    They burst wide open the little group that had formed, and the whole race. I was left on my own, I went forward as far as I could and I arrived with the (old) pink jersey.
    "The others are going faster, there's not much to be said.
    "There's a new generation coming through, it's clear the others have time on their side. I think I'm the only one born in 1984 who's challenging the leaders...
    "Hindley is very strong, we already saw that at Piancavallo, when he started setting a very high pace....
    "Nothing's going to happen tomorrow, (but) the day after tomorrow the race will blow wide open again", concluded the Trek captain.
