Alberto Contador shows off climbing skills on Mortirolo (The Associated Press)

Alberto Contador put on a demonstration of his climbing skills on the steep Mortirolo pass and extended his lead in the 16th stage of the Giro d’Italia on Tuesday. Spanish rider Mikel Landa posted his second consecutive stage victory after getting clearance from the Astana team to leave behind captain Fabio Aru, who again struggled. Landa required just over 5 hours over the 174-kilometer (108-mile) leg from Pinzolo to Aprica, which included five categorized climbs.
