Pedersen makes it 2 wins out of 3 at Giro to take back pink jersey from Roglic

Mads Pedersen secured victory in the race's third day with a bunch sprint finish in Vlore, Albania, regaining the leader's pink jersey from Primoz Roglic.
Pedersen began the day one second behind Roglic, who had taken the jersey after winning Saturday's time trial, but the race had a hilly 160km leg that shaped the outcome.
Riding for Lidl-Trek, Pedersen edged New Zealand's Corbin Strong by half a wheel and earned a 10-second time bonus that extended his lead over Roglic to nine seconds.
Pedersen described the day as 'exactly what we wanted' and noted it was a planned effort to control the climb and regain the pink jersey with two stage wins so far.
Following three stages in Albania, the race will shift to Italy on Tuesday, restarting with a largely level 189-kilometer stretch from Alberobello to Lecce, likely favoring sprinters in the upcoming finishes.
