Slovenia's Matej Mohoric won
the 10th stage of the Giro d'Italia and Britain's Simon Yates
kept the leader's pink jersey Tuesday.
The stage was a 244km stretch from Penne near Pescara to
Gualdo Todino near Perugia, this year's longest stage.
Yates' Mitchelton-Scott teammate, Estaban Chaves of Colombia,
who was second, 32'' behind the Briton, had an allergic reaction
and lost 25'25'' on the gruelling stage.
"It was a day to forget, I didn't have the legs," said
Chaves.
Mohoric beat Germany's Nico Denz in a sprint finish after a
two-man break.
Ireland's Sam Bennett was third at 34"; fourth Italy's Enrico
Battaglin, fifth Italy's Davide Ballerini, sixth Denmark's Mads
Wurtz, seventh Italy's Francesco Gavazzi, eighth Colombia's
Jarlinson Pantano, ninth Italy's Gianluca Brambilla and tenth
Portugal's José Goncalves, all with the same time.
