Derek Gee-West (Lidl-Trek) showed he is a third-week Grand Tour rider on the mountain finish to Carì in Switzerland, finishing with the riders fighting for the podium and moving up to sixth overall in the Giro d'Italia.

Just last Friday, the Canadian was dropped earlier on the climb up to the Pila finish. Today, after the third rest day, as the third and final week in the mountains began, he was able to hang tough and move up the GC.
