Eddie Dunbar moves up to fourth in Giro with three stages remaining

Cork cyclist Eddie Dunbar has moved up to fourth in the Giro d'Italia after another superb climbing performance in the Dolomites.

The Team Jayco AlUla rider is now 3'39" behind leader Geraint Thomas, losing 36 seconds to the leader, who pulled away on the final climb alongside his rival Primoz Roglic.

However Dunbar's strong ride saw him stay in touch with the top three in general classification, jumping over Damiano Caruso to take fourth place.

With only one mountain stage, a time trial and final stage into Rome to go, a podium spot may be beyond Dunbar, but a fourth-place finish would be superb for a rider in only his second Grand Tour.

Dunbar's team-mate and Italian national champion Filippo Zana took the stage, pipping Thibaut Pinot at the line.
