Italian Damiano Cima just held off the peloton to win the 18th stage of the Giro d'Italia, a 222-km ride from Valdaora on Thursday.
Germany's Pascal Ackermann was second and Italian Simone Consonni came home third.
Ecuador's Richard Carapaz retained the overall leader's pink jersey.
Cima was one of three breakaway riders and he gave a final push as the main bunch came breathing down his neck, holding off German champion Ackermann for the win.
Eddie Dunbar and Conor Dunne were both part of the bunch finish. Team Ineos’ Dunbar remains in 22nd, in the general classification, 37 minutes and 20 seconds adrift of Carapaz.
Dunne rose one place to 135th overall.
Friday's 19th stage is a 151-km hilly ride from Treviso to San Martino Di Castrozza.
