Fernando Gaviria collected his second stage win of the Giro d'Italia with a ferocious sprint in Messina, Italy to cross the line first in stage 5. His Quick-Step Floors team also kept the pink leader's jersey after the mostly flat 159-kilometer race. Luxembourg's Bob Jungels leads the overall.

Jakub Mareczko (Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia) sprinted to second place on the day. Bora-Hansgrohe's Sam Bennett was third. "I'm happy with two victories, the legs are now responding the way we wanted," said Gaviria, who has also taken the sprinter's jersey. "We wanted to take some points because we were down a few. We wanted to take this jersey, we managed to get the points we needed and we did it in the best way."
