Contador retains Giro lead despite dislocated shoulder (The Associated Press)

A day after dislocating his shoulder in a crash, Alberto Contador retained the overall lead in the Giro d’italia on Friday as Diego Ulissi sprinted to victory in the longest stage of the race. ”I’m happy because I got through the day,” Contador said. Then we’ll see.” The Spaniard, attempting to become the first rider since Marco Pantani in 1998 to win the Giro and Tour de France in the same year, maintained a two-second lead over Italy’s Fabio Aru and a 20-second advantage over third-place Richie Porte.
