The reigning world champion survived a short but steep climb to the finish after 210 kilometres to contest stage 5 in a reduced sprint, nabbing a convincing victory over a field mostly composed of GC contenders. Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), who moved up to second overall midway through the day when Orica-Scott’s Adam Yates abandoned, claimed runner-up honors and a few bonus seconds, while LottoNl-Jumbo’s Primoz Roglic finished third.
Nairo Quintana (Movistar) continues to lead the general classification heading into Monday’s stage 6, which runs 168km from Ascoli Piceno to Civitanova Marche.
