A very wet day so plenty of abandonments and non-starters including Remco Evenepoel and Aleksandr Vlasov as the headlines. The breakaway managed to keep the peloton from a sprint stage and Magnus Cort Nielsen was victorious beating Derek Gee to the win. Geraint Thomas also enjoyed his first day in the Maglia Rosa.

Remco Evenepoel abandons the Giro following a positive covid test and throws the whole giro upside down

On the longest time trial stage of the Giro, Remco Evenepoel took the expected win but only by ONE SECOND over a rampant Geraint Thomas. Primoz Roglic slipped down in the overall ranking and unfortunately, the maglia rosa stint for Andreas Leknessund ended but he managed to stay inside the Top 5 overall.

Another stage for the breakaway and it was Ben Healy of EF Education Easypost who was the strongest and managed to solo to the finish by 50km while in the favourites group it was Primoz Roglic who put in the decisive attack that opened gaps in the general classification while Remco Evenepoel struggled to follow.

It was a day for the breakaway as the pro-conti teams battled for the stage win and the favourites took a calm day as no one challenged Remco Evenepoel.

The 6th stage of the Giro d'Italia 2023 was a stage around Napoli it almost show a breakaway head away with the victory however in the end it came down to the sprint with Mads Pedersen taking the victory. But both Primoz Roglic and Geraint Thomas.

A stage with plenty of crashes including two crashes involving Remco Evenepoel but the more serious one came in the final sprint and involved Mark Cavendish among a number of other riders.

Taylor Phinney was a prototype of the wonder-kid generation. In his teens, he had already competed at the Olympic Games, won rainbow jerseys and signed a pro contract. Through his early 20s, Phinney claimed a number of high-profile wins at the UCI World Tour level including the prologue of the 2012 Giro d’Italia. After a brutal crash in 2014, Phinney reconsidered his sporting trajectory. After bowing out officially in 2019 to pursue art, Phinney has given us an interesting canvas to work with on today’s installment of the ‘WTF Happened To’ series.
