The Picnic riders sign on.
Would you look at that, there’s this thing called the sun peering through the clouds! ☀️A day that looks like to be one for the sprinters ⚡️#GirodItalia🇮🇹 pic.twitter.com/4RNAwgdFsFMay 14, 2026
A mass crash with 70km to go forced the race to stop, the GC times for the stage were neutralised, meaning all riders were given the same time on the line regardless of gaps, with no bonus seconds or sprint points awarded.
Last year the Giro finished in Napoli after a 227km ride from Potenza. It was a tough day out.
Groves beat Milan Fretin (Cofidis) and Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep), thanks to Alpecin-Deceuninck’s organisation in a hectic sprint.
The peloton only caught Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché-Wanty) and Enzo Paleni (Groupama-FDJ) with 2.5km to go.
A late attack from Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) threatened an upset but he was swept up but Groves emerged to win.
We have a new race leader after the epic rain-soaked stage 5.
This is what happened during a testing day to Potenza, where Igor Arrieta (UAE) won the stage and Afonso Eulálio (Bahrain Victorious) took the maglia rosa.
The riders are currently signing on in Paestum, near the Greek and Roman ruins.
Cross winds along the coast early in the stage could also be a problem, with a risk of rain showers during the day.

This is the stage map.
