Paret-Peintre seals first professional win on Giro stage

France's Valentin Paret-Peintre claimed his first professional win on stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia.

The 23-year-old celebrated with his older brother Aurelien, who won stage four on the Giro last year and was fifth on Tuesday, at the finish line.

Slovenia's Jan Tratnik (Visma-Lease a Bike) looked set to win the stage after making a solo break with more than 30km to go.

However, he was caught by Paret-Peintre with less than 3km left after the Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale launched a late attack on the final 18km climb of Bocca della Selva.

Tratnik was forced to settle for third as DSM-Firmenich PostNL's Romain Bardet made it a French one-two.

Meanwhile, Tadej Pogacar maintained his healthy lead over Colombia's Daniel Martinez and Great Britain's Geraint Thomas at the top of the overall standings.

Wednesday's stage 11 is a 207km route from Foiano di Val Fortore to Francavilla al Mare on the east coast of Italy.
