ROME (Reuters) - Australia's Michael Rogers claimed the 11th stage of the Giro d'Italia on Wednesday to take his first ever stage win in the race after last month being cleared to compete again by the UCI following a positive test for clenbuterol in Japan last year.

The Saxo-Tinkoff rider made a burst after the second Naso di Gatto climb was won by Colombian Julian Arrendondo Moreno, who maintained his grip on the King of the Mountains' blue jersey after a blistering first hour in which riders averaged 49kph.
