Cycling-Chaves moves close to Giro win as Nibali takes stage (Reuters)
(Adds details) May 27 (Reuters) – Colombian Esteban Chaves moved close to his maiden grand tour title in the Giro d’Italia when he snatched the overall leader’s pink jersey off Steven Kruijswijk’s shoulders after the Dutchman crashed on the 19th stage won solo by Vincenzo Nibali on Friday. Orica-GreenEDGE rider Chaves, fifth in the Vuelta last year, took third place behind former champion Nibali and Spain’s Mikel Nieve in the French resort of Risoul, putting himself in prime position to become the second Colombian to win the race after Nairo Quintana in 2014.
