(Reuters) - Italy's Diego Ulissi won a dramatic final climb to the town of Viggiano to win the fifth stage of the Giro D'Italia on Wednesday.

Around half a dozen riders, including former Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, battled up the final kilometre before Ulissi, riding for Lampre-Merida, sneaked up on the left with around 500 metres left to take the stage.
