Primoz Roglic abandoned, Juan Ayuso dropped out of the decision, Isaac del Toro showed weaknesses and Richard Carapaz from Ecuador made the biggest step forward in the overall standings.
The Mexican Del Toro can keep the Maglia Rosa. However, his main rivals Carapaz, who made up 1:36 minutes, and Simon Yates are only around half a minute behind. The cards for the overall classification were reshuffled in the section over four mountains.
Scaroni, who came from the early breakaway group, prevailed on the summit of the San Valentino station and crossed the finish line hand in hand with his Astana team-mate and compatriot Lorenzo Fortunato to take the first Italian victory in this Giro.
Yannis Voisard, who was also part of the leading group, pedaled hard on the descent before the final climb and went into the finale with a lead of around half a minute. However, the dream of winning the stage did not last long. After all, the Frenchman finished tenth, ahead of Del Toro, for example.
