Eddie Dunbar has moved into the top five in general classification at Giro d'Italia after a stunning ride that saw him take on some of the main contenders for the event.
On an excellent day for Irish cycling, Ben Healy took the King of the Mountains Jersey after 5000 meters of climbing, the breakaway group that he led was only reeled in on the final climb of a gruelling 203km stage.
Geraint Thomas is the new pink jersey holder with Dunbar coming home fourth finishing 25 seconds behind stage 16 winner Joao Almeida. Dunbar is now placed fifth in the general classification.
