Australian cyclist Kaden Groves sprinted to victory in a chaotic sixth stage of the Giro d’Italia that had be neutralized following a massive crash.

Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) was the most notable name in the DNF list. The main mountain helper and GC backup for Primož Roglič won the Giro d'Italia in 2022 went down near the front of the peloton and the chain reaction of braking on wet roads caused a huge pile-up.

The 2025 Giro d’Italia continues with stage six, the longest stage of this year’s edition at 226km - 75km more than Wednesday’s rather trim stage five. In theory it’s another one for the sprinters, bringing an end to a trilogy of stages for the fast men before the GC battle proper gets underway with Friday’s stage seven.
