The sprinters could once again have the opportunity to smile again. But be careful, this sixth stage in this Giro 2024 is hilly in its second part, including a 10% wall at the end of the stage which could cause damage.
Tadej Pogacar could also be one of the leaders of this end of the race, he who is never stingy with his efforts in this kind of situation…
Step follow-up:
After an intense 5th stage marked by numerous falls but where the favorites were not exposed, the Tour of Italy reaches the Siena region, where the Strade Bianche are contested at the start of the season. Michael Woods, Nadav Raisberg and Riley Pickrell (Israel Premier Tech) did not take the start, insufficiently recovered from their misadventures. Florian Lipowitz (Bora Hansgrohe), ill, is also a non-starter in Viareggio.
In the first part of the stage, no rider, following the strong pace set by the peloton, managed to take a significant breakaway. It was ultimately Giulio Pellizzari (VF Group) who took the lead at the top of the Volterra. The Italian was followed by the two Frenchmen Julian Alaphilippe and Aurélien Paret-Peintre. The breakaway then took a few seconds, the peloton letting it go somewhat.
