Valgren claims stage 17 of Giro d’Italia but Jonas Vingegaard stays in pink

Dane wins in Andalo after sweltering stage

Vingegaard has four-minute lead over Gall

Denmark’s Michael Valgren won the 17th stage of the Giro d’Italia but his compatriot Jonas Vingegaard continued his march to a first overall victory on the Grand Tour. Valgren took the honours in Andalo after attacking from a small group with a kilometre remaining of the undulating 202km ride from Cassano d’Adda with riders suffering from the punishing heat and also sudden downpours.

The 34-year-old EF Education-EasyPost rider claimed his second win of the season, with his other also coming in Italy at the Tirreno-Adriatico.
