Manx cyclist Peter Kennaugh is the highest placed Briton in the Giro d'Italia.

The Sky Procycling rider is in 16th place, just 50 seconds behind the leaders after stage five.

Mark Cavendish will be looking to bring home the red jersey for topping the points classification.

The Manx Missile briefly held the leader's pink jersey after stage 2, and now sits 155th.
