Cima gave his team their first ever stage victory in the Giro in a dash for the line ahead of Germany's Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) after nearly five hours in the saddle, with Italy's Simone Consonni, riding for UAE-Emirates, third.

There was no change in the top three with Carapaz holding his 1min 54sec lead over Italy's former two-time winner Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merdia).
