Italy's Valerio Conti
took the leader's pink jersey in the Giro d'Italia from
Slovenia's Primoz Roglic after coming second in the sixth stage
Thursday.
26-year-old Roman Conti came in behind countryman Fausto
Masnada after a long breakaway.
The last Italian in pink was Vincenzo Nibali three years ago,
in 2016.
Roglic had worn the jersey since winning the opening time
trial at Bologna.
Masnada gave Italy its first stage win this year after Elia
Viviani was disqualified after winning the third stage.
Thursday's stage was a 238 km stretch from Cassino near
Frosinone to San Giovanni Rotondo near Foggia.
