Christian Scaroni won an action-packed stage of the Giro d’Italia on Tuesday, as Isaac del Toro’s rivals cut into his overall lead and Primoz Roglic, the pre-race favourite, abandoned.

Stage 16 of the Giro was a 203km ride from Piazzola sul Brenta to San Valentino, in north-east Italy, featuring four brutal climbs totalling up to 4,900m of elevation, with heavy rainfall leading to several crashes.
