Cycling-Giro over for Landa, Jungels takes over lead (Reuters)
Mikel Landa’s Giro d’Italia hopes vanished when he abandoned with illness early on stage 10 on Tuesday before Italian first-year professional Giulio Ciccone powered to victory in Sestola. Team Sky leader Landa began the day one minute 18 seconds behind GC leader Gianluca Brambilla and with high hopes of attacking on the forthcoming mountain stages, but the Spaniard fell off the back of the peloton on the first climb and quit. On an eventful day Italian Brambilla lost the leader’s pink jersey to Etixx-Quickstep team mate Bob Jungels.
