(Reuters) - Home rider Matteo Trentin pipped Moreno Moser on the line to triumph on the 18th stage of the Giro D'Italia on Thursday while the winner's Etixx-QuickStep team mate Gianluca Brambilla took third place on the race's longest leg. Dutchman Steven Kruijswijk (Lotto NL-Jumbo) finished in the main pack to hold on to the overall leader's pink jersey, and his three-minute advantage over Colombia's Esteban Chaves with three days to go. The day belonged to Etixx-QuickStep's two Italians as they outfoxed compatriot Moser at the end of the 240km stage that began in Muggio.
