Kluge wins Giro’s 17th stage, Kruijswijk stays in pink (Reuters)
(Reuters) – IAM Cycling’s Roger Kluge snatched victory in the Giro D’Italia 17th stage on Wednesday, giving the Swiss team its first Grand Tour stage win in the week it announced it would close down at the end of the season. German Kluge, 30, powered past Pippo Pozzato in a last-ditch attack and held off the peloton in an all-out sprint in the final km to finish ahead of Italy’s Giacomo Nizzolo on the 196km stage from Molveno to­ Cassano d’Adda. Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo), one of the favourites to win the largely sprint-friendly stage, edged Germany’s Nikas Arndt (Giant-Alpecin) into third place.
