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

On Sunday, Mads Pedersen secured victory in a bunch sprint around Vlore, Albania, marking his second stage win of this year's Giro and allowing him to retake the overall lead, donning the pink jersey once again from Primoz Roglic.
Pedersen began the stage one second behind Roglic, who took the jersey after winning the Saturday time trial, and the third stage was the last Albanian leg before moving to Italy.
The Lidl-Trek team led a controlled peloton over the hilly 160-kilometer course, setting the tempo on the climb to position Pedersen for a sprint victory, where he narrowly outsprinted New Zealand’s Corbin Strong by a very slim margin.
Reflecting on his second stage win and reclaiming the leader’s jersey, Pedersen expressed his satisfaction, noting that this outcome was precisely their goal for the day.
Pedersen leads Roglic by nine seconds and will face two more sprint stages in Italy after the race resumes Tuesday with a mostly flat 189-kilometer route from Alberobello to Lecce.
