- Danish rider denies Corbin Strong in Vlorë sprint
- Race now returns to Italy after three stages in Albania
Mads Pedersen reclaimed the leader’s pink jersey with victory in the third stage of the Giro d’Italia as the race bade farewell to Albania.
The Danish rider repeated his first-stage success by holding off Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) in a sprint finish in Vlorë. Pedersen’s Lidl-Trek team controlled the peloton, reeling in an early breakaway that included Britain’s stage two winner, Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers).
