- French rider breaks clear for maiden Grand Tour win
- Carapaz picks up seven seconds on Vincenzo Nibali
France’s Nans Peters won stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia as overall leader Richard Carapaz gained a few extra seconds on his rivals.
Peters powered clear from an 18-man breakaway with around 15 kilometres remaining of the 181km stage from Commezzadura to Anterselva Antholz. The 25-year-old Ag2r-La Mondiale rider was never in danger of being caught as he claimed his maiden win in a Grand Tour and his team’s first in the Giro since 2011.
