Giro d'Italia 2024 stage 6 GC Update: Tadej Pogacar maintains strong overall lead as Juan Pedro Lopez survives late crash with top-10 intact
CyclingThursday, 09 May 2024 at 17:39
One of the most anticipated days heading into the 2024 Giro d'Italia, stage 6's visit to the gravel roads of Tuscany threw up plenty of drama, as Movistar Team's Pelayo Sanchez secured the stage win from the breakaway.
In the peloton behind however, despite a few scares the GC guys managed to escape relatively unscathed. Tadej Pogacar is still the leader, with the same advantage over all his rivals in the Top 10: Geraint Thomas, Daniel Martinez, Cian Uijtdebroeks, Einer Rubio, Lorenzo Fortunato, Juan Pedro Lopez, Jan Hirt, Alexey Lutsenko and Esteban Chaves.
Perhaps the most striking incident in terms of the fight for the overall on stage 6, happened when Juan Pedro Lopez went to the ground in a late crash. Thankfully for the Spaniard, he managed to recover from it and finish the day safely in the group of GC favourites.

maria2024202408-01-2026 - Young Del Toro seem to have dealt with pressure exceptionally well last year. The Maglia Rosa lose last year was due to tactics, not pressure. It was a former young team mate of his (whose name rhymes with Caruso) who time and again didn't cope well. It's very reasonable to use Isaac as a super domestic for Tadej in TDF and avoid yet another leadership friction in the Giro. UAE team could have been honest about it, when the main reason is seemingly clear. Nothing wrong about it.BM08-01-2026

- I wouldn't write them off for monuments any more than I would write off everyone competing against MVDP and Tadej. These two are the only clear favorites, but, if something happens Quick- Step has as good a chance as anyone.mij08-01-2026
- look at Remco and Egan. careers cut short if not permanently changed due to offseason crashes on the road. crashes happen, sadly, and being in competition does not make it any more or less likely.mij08-01-2026
- Makes sense. Finally got the Giro monkey off his back. Got a stage in all three GTs. He's never going to win the Tour, and probably isn't super fussed about fighting the young guns for leadership at other stage races. Why not just go out on a high?antipodeanpedalfan08-01-2026
