Arnaud Demare won his fourth victory at this year's Giro d'Italia on Wednesday by winning the 11th stage in another mass sprint, and Joao Almeida held onto the overall leader's pink jersey. Demare edged Peter Sagan and Alvaro Hodeg at the end of the mostly flat 182-kilometre stage from Porto Sant'Elpidio to Rimini along the Adriatic coast. Fernando Gaviria was the first to launch his sprint, with 200 metres to go, but Demare responded immediately.
