The Giro d’Italia 2.UWT Stage 6 took place today, Thursday, May 15, 2025
Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sprinted to victory in a chaotic and wet Stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia 2025, which finished in Napoli.
Key Points:
- Winner: Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won the stage in a final sprint.
- Pink Jersey: Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) retained the pink leader’s jersey.
- Neutralization: An earlier mass crash due to slippery conditions caused by rain led to a neutralization of the race for about 20 kilometers. After the restart, organizers decided that all riders would be given the same time, and no bonus seconds would be awarded at the finish, leaving only the stage victory up for grabs.
- Late Breakaway: A late attack by Enzo Paleni (Groupama-FDJ) and Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché-Wanty) was caught with 2.5 kilometers remaining.
- Final Kilometer: Wout van Aert (Team Visma – Lease a Bike) made an early move in the final kilometer, but Groves powered past him for the win near the port.
- Crashes and Abandonments: The earlier significant crash forced several riders to abandon.
- General Classification: Mads Pedersen holds a 17-second lead over Primož Roglič (Red Bull Bora-hansgrohe) and 24 seconds over his teammate Mathias Vacek in the overall standings.
In summary, Stage 6 was marked by early crashes due to rain, a subsequent neutralization, and ultimately a sprint victory for Kaden Groves in Naples, while Mads Pedersen maintained his lead in the general classification.
