Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida) won stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia as he out-sprinted breakaway companion Nico Denz (Ag2r La Mondiale) in Gualdo Tadino on a day where second place overall Esteban Chaves (Mitchelton-Scott) lost 25 minutes and all hope of a high overall placing.

Clearly finding himself with bad legs coming out of the rest day, Chaves was dropped on the first climb of the day and quickly found himself three minutes behind the main peloton.
