Isaac del Toro won stage 17 of the Giro d'Italia to tighten his grip on the pink jersey in the face of more attacks from Richard Carapaz, who moved above Simon Yates into second overall.
A day after Carapaz took more than 90 seconds out of his lead to move within 31 seconds of pink, UAE Team Emirates' Del Toro responded with his first career Giro stage win, beating Carapaz to the line in Bormio by four seconds but also picking up another six in bonuses to extend his advantage.
