Italian youngster Diego Ulissi was awarded victory in stage 17 of the Giro d’Italia after compatriot Giovanni Visconti was relegated to third place for irregular sprinting. Farnese Vini all-rounder Visconti reacted angrily after apparently being boxed in on the closing straight of the 230-kilometre stage from Feltre to Tirano, pushing his rival from Lampre twice and gesticulating to his compatriot before crossing the line in first position. Ulissi finished second and Spaniard Pablo Lastras (Movistar) took third, although race commissaires quickly decided to demote Visconti to third place for dangerous sprinting, gifting the win to the 21-year-old Ulissi.
