Davide Bais of Eolo-Kometa won a gruelling stage seven of the Giro d'Italia on Friday after leading a three-man breakaway, beating Karel Vacek and Simone Petilli to the finish line for the first victory of his career.
NAPLES, Italy: Mads Pedersen won the sixth stage of the Giro d’Italia on Thursday after a two-man breakaway was caught with the line in sight.
Mark Cavendish endured another tough day at the Giro d’Italia, as he came home over 18 minutes behind stage winner Mads Pedersen after suffering another crash. The Briton was involved in a high-speed tumble at the end of Stage 5, but picked himself up to take the start line on Stage 6.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) was in bullish mood following Stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia, telling Eurosport France that he felt main general classification rival Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) looked “nervous”. After Stage 6 was won by Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), the 23-year-old Soudal-Quickstep rider sits second on the general classification, some 28 seconds off Norway’s Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM). However, he holds a 44-second lead over Roglic.
Alberto Contador has backed Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) to push for a podium at the Giro d’Italia – but fellow Eurosport expert Jens Voigt is not so sure. With six stages ticked off, the Portuguese is 1’00” adrift of maglia rosa incumbent Andreas Leknessund (DSM) and 32” down on pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep). Ad Evenepoel is expected to come under pressure on Friday's Stage 7 after his double crash on Wednesday, including a run-in with a stray dog.
It's a tough day of climbing as the Giro d’Italia Stage 7 on Friday, May 12 sees the riders start in Capua and finish at Gran Sasso. Climbing is back on the agenda with plenty of tough ascents, and the peloton will be taken above 2,000 metres for the first time on the Giro.
Denmark's Mads Pedersen won a sprint finish on stage six of the Giro d'Italia in Naples to complete the grand slam of Grand Tour victories. After the chaos of a crash-strewn stage five in wet conditions, the 162km around Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi coast under sunny skies produced little drama until the closing moments when breakaway duo Alessandro De Marchi and Simon Clarke were finally reeled in. Veteran Australian Clarke and De Marchi had made their attack on the Picco Sant'Angelo climb, continuing to push on to stretch the advantage to more than two minutes heading into the final 30km.
This time a year ago, Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) had not won a stage on a Grand Tour. On Thursday, the 27-year-old Dane was a stage winner in all three after completing the milestone in just 251 days. In so doing, Pedersen denied Simon Clarke (Israel-Premier Tech) the chance of achieving the same feat in what would have been a lengthier but no less sweet 3,915 days.
