Laverde wins stage 14 of Giro d'Italia

Colombia's Luis Felipe Laverde won the 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia from Aosta to Domodossola on Sunday.
  
The Ceramica Panaria rider beat Spain's Francisco Perez in a sprint after the pair broke clear of an 11-rider attack that characterised the 220-km stage.
   
Italy's Paolo Tiralongo finished third, seven seconds behind, while his compatriot Ivan Basso finished in the main peloton, 7:44 behind Laverde but retained the overall race lead.
   
Monday's 189-km 15th stage is from Mergozzo to Brescia. It is completely flat and is expected to finish in a mass sprint finish.
   
The Giro d'Italia ends in Milan on May 28.
