Greipel wins 5th stage; Dumoulin retains Giro lead (The Associated Press)

German rider Andre Greipel won a mass sprint by a large margin to take the fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia on Wednesday, and Tom Dumoulin held onto the overall leader’s pink jersey. Greipel surged ahead on the final straight and had time to raise his arms before crossing the line. It was Greipel’s 18th stage win in a Grand Tour – four at the Giro, 10 at the Tour de France and four in the Spanish Vuelta – and the 130th victory overall in his career.
