Giro d'Italia 2017 start finish Stage 05.jpgGiro d'Italia Stage 5: Fernando Gaviria doubles up in Messina
Fernando Gaviria has taken his second stage win of the 100th Giro d'Italia, the 22-year-old Colombian's debut Grand Tour.
The Quick Step Floors rider won the sprint in Messina to move into the lead of the points classification, while his team mate Bob Jungels - who took the overall lead from Gaviria on the Etna stage yesterday - retains the overall lead.
Jakub Marteczko of Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia was second today, with the Irish sprinter Sam Bennett of Bora-Hansgrohe third.
The 159km stage from Pedara concluded with a 7km circuit in defending champion Vincenzo Nibali's home town.
But there was embarrassment for one of his Bahrain-Merida team mates, Luka Pibernik, who raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the line after getting off the front of the peloton, only to find there was still a lap to go.
