Thibaut Pinot finished second in the 18th stage of the Giro d'Italia in Val di Zoldo. The Frenchman was beaten in a sprint by Italian champion Filippo Zana.
Britain's Geraint Thomas is still leader of the race with 29 seconds ahead of Slovenian Primoz Roglic, his new runner-up. The queen stage to the Tre Cime di Lavardo is Friday in Crans Montana, where we expect a great explanation between the favorites.
