Giro d'Italia 2023 Stage 6: Preview, how to watch, TV and live stream details, route map and profile, when race starts

It's a Napolitano day at the Giro d’Italia! Stage 6 on Thursday, May 11 sees the riders start and finish in Naples as Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) seeks to bounce back from his double crash on Wednesday. The Belgian favourite appeared to be out of the race after hitting the deck when a dog ran into the peloton, but after spending over a minute on the tarmac he belatedly returned to the saddle. But the drama was not over.

Remco Evenepoel in 'a lot of pain' after crashes, facing 'difficult day' ahead at Giro, says team doctor

Remco Evenepoel is in a “lot of pain” following two crashes on a rain-soaked Stage 5 of the Giro d’Italia and faces a “difficult day” tomorrow, according to Soudal Quick-Step doctor Toon Cruyt. Vuelta a Espana champion Evenepoel is one of the favourites to win the Giro and wore the pink leader’s jersey until the end of Stage 4. Ad But his hopes took a hit as he fell twice on Stage 5, firstly when a dog ran into the road and then again just 2.5km from the finish.

Giro d’Italia 2023: 'Rode it to the ground' – Mark Cavendish praised for bike skills despite crash on Stage 5

Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) was lauded for his incredible bike handling on The Breakaway despite crashing in a dramatic sprint on Stage 5 at the Giro d’Italia. A hellish day saw pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) crash twice – once after a dog ran into the peloton – and Cavendish slide on his torso across the finish line behind winner Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck).

As the incessant rain lashed down from start to finish in Campania, it was anything but dog days for Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) in Stage 5 of the Giro d’Italia. The world champion crashed twice – once after a stray dog ran in front of the peloton and again just 2.5km from the finish – as the terrible conditions took their toll on the peloton.

Three takeaways from 76ers putting the Celtics on the brink of elimination

If you squint really hard, you can see optimism for the Celtics. They were down 3-2 in the conference semi-finals last season and had to go into Milwaukee and win Game 6, which they did and then won Game 7 of that series, eventually advancing on to the NBA Finals. Plus there is the Doc Rivers curse: His teams have dropped seven straight games where a win would have sent them to the conference finals.
