Contador suffers but remains on course for Giro win (The Associated Press)

Alberto Contador had his overall lead sliced in half on the penultimate day of the Giro d’Italia on Saturday, although the Spaniard remained on course for the title after the 20th stage. Contador was dropped on the grueling climb up a dirt road on Colle delle Finestre as rivals Fabio Aru and Mikel Landa sped clear. Aru, who moved back into second place overall with victory in Friday’s 19th stage, soloed to a second successive win to close the gap to 2 minutes, 2 seconds.
