Tadej Pogacar finishes second to extend his massive leadGermany’s Georg Steinhauser halted race leader Tadej Pogacar’s streak of stage wins at the Giro d’Italia with a solo victory after a day of incessant climbing.

Steinhauser went alone on the first climb of the Brocon Pass with just over 30km of the 159km 17th stage remaining, and he continued to open up a sizeable gap over Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier. With the peloton showing no real urgency in giving chase, the 22-year-old Grand Tour debutant Steinhauser powered up the second climb of Brocon Pass in steady rain to take the victory.but resisted the urge to make it a hat-trick.

Pogacar finished one minute and 24 seconds behind Steinhauser to push his overall lead to 7min 42secs over Daniel Martínez in second. Geraint Thomas remains in third, 22 seconds further back.
