After nearly a week of mixed terrain with punchy hill stages and flat sprints, Friday marks the first true test. The Giro's first summit finish is on the menu following a grueling mid-mountain challenge.

The race was neutralised after a serious crash with around 70km to go on wet, slippery roads, with 2022 winner Hindley, Intermarchy-Wanty’s Dion Smith and Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Juri Hollmann all abandoning as a result of their injuries.

Former winner Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has abandoned the the Giro d'Italia after being involved in a crash that caused the race to be neutralised. Stage 6 has been neutralised 71km from the finish in Napoli following a mass crash in the peloton.

New Zealand cyclist Dion Smith got quite the scare during the third stage of this year’s Giro d’Italia, after almost being knocked off his bike by a runaway goat on Sunday.

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.

Stage Six of the Giro d'Italia was brought to a halt after a mass crash caused a big pile-up in the peloton. The race had started in Potenza and was bound for Naples, but a rain-affected stage was temporarily paused after the crash.

Kaden Groves won a wet Stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia in Napoli. Mads Pedersen didn't contest the sprint, but held onto his pink jersey.

After four days of racing, three riders have abandoned the 2025 Giro d'Italia, with Nickolas Zukowsky (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) joining Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) and Geoffrey Bouchard (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) in the list of drop-outs.
