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.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
