Welcome to LIVE coverage of stage 17 of the Giro d'Italia - a 214km largely flat ride from Caravaggio to Vicenza, which concludes with a Cat.4 bump 20km from the finish.

No change on GC with all the big names finishing in that chasing group. Vincenzo Nibali still leads Evans by 1:26 and Rigoberto Uran by 2:46 going into tomorrow's decisive mountain time trial.

Mark Cavendish finished in a group 1:39 down on winner Visconti. By finishing tenth, Cadel Evans too 5pts in the red jersey standings and returns to just 5pts of Cavendish in the red jersey competition which looks like it will go right down to the wire.

Stage result: 1. Visconti, 2. Navardauskas +19, 3. Mezgec, 4. Pozzato, 5. Hondo, 6. Puccio, 7. Modolo, 8. Felline, 9. Ventoso, 10. Evans.

Ramunas Navardauskas of Garmin wins the sprint for second place - and the Lithuanian thinks he's won the stage! Up go the arms in celebration... his radio must not have been working.

Visconti sweeps into the final straight, pumps his fist, then milks the crowd after securing Movistar's third stage on the trot - and fourth in the race.

Visconti can't stop checking behind him for confirmation that the pack is not closing in...

Into the last kilometre for Visconti and he will take the win here - incredible stuff.

Visconti overcooks a tight bend and almost hits the deck! But he's ok and will only lose a bit of momentum.

Visconti may well hold on - this is a brilliant ride.

20 seconds for Visconti - with numerous individual attacks coming in behind.

Robert Gesink is right there on the front - hoping to put yesterday's disappointment behind him. Rafal Majka is right there - perhaps keen to put Betancur, his rival for the white jersey, under pressure.

There are numerous groups fighting back on the main group, which appears to have fragmented into echelons.

Visconti is in a world of pain - but the chasing group is very fragmented. Now it's Sky setting the pace.

Ventoso is right on the front but not setting the tempo - he wants to be there in case his team-mate Visconti is caught.

Euskaltel on the attack through Azanza. It's contered by Franco Pellizotti of Androni and Kelderman. Visconti still has 22 seconds.

Now Fabio Felline of Androni is off the front in pursuit of Visconti, who has 23 seconds.

Blanco's Wlico Kelderman attacks from the main pack...

Nizzolo and Marcato are riding with one Sky rider in pursuit of the main pack, trying to close the gap.

Visconti is onto the flat segment and passes under the 10-to-go banner with 33 seconds. Bardiani Valvole are chasing behind - perhaps Modolo has made the selection.

The gap is fairly stable - 30 seconds for Visconti. The main pack has caught Rubiano.
