In a sprint finish, Cort, 30, beat off Italian Alessandro de Marchi and Canadian Derek Gee to win stage 10.
Cort, a rider for EF Education-EasyPost, has now won stages in all three Grand Tours.
Thomas from Britain finished 51 seconds behind Cort, which was enough for him to keep the lead over Primoz Roglic.
Cort of Denmark has previously won six Vuelta Espana stages and two Tour de France stages.
Wednesday's Stage 11 of the Giro is the longest, covering 219 kilometers from Camaiore to Tortona.
Due to snow and the possibility of avalanches, stage 13 on Friday will be cut from 207 kilometers to 199 km, according to the event organizers' announcement on Tuesday.
Riders will now pass through the tunnel rather than the perilous 2,469-meter ascent of the Great St. Bernard Pass.
