After his Tour of the Alps win, Juan Pedro Lopez had high hopes of a podium finish at the Giro d'Italia and the Lidl-Trek leader had started brightly. Sadly though, he has been involved in a crash on stage 6.
Coming just prior to the final gravel sector, stress was high within the bunch and sadly for Lopez, he and a handful of other riders were victim of that stress and were brought down to the Tuscany tarmac. With under 20km to go, the Spaniard now faces a battle to get back into the bunch before the end.
See the incident for yourself down below!

- Headline says that del Toro is only seconds ahead of del Toro. Hope he’s able to hold himself off… or catch himself. I’m not sure who to root for.TeddyPangolin27-05-2025
- This year's unpredictability and drama definitely wins out entertainmentwise over the inevitability of Pogi last year. Stage 17 coming up and multiple riders still within reach of winning. Love it!mobk27-05-2025
- That was just a little light humour. I like Primoz, and I feel badly for him that he had to withdraw from the race.

- Looks like UAE's strategy of playing it safe by keeping 2 leaders backfired within one stage. In hindsight, they should have unleashed Del Toro in the previous stages and let him gain time instead of pulling Ayuso and other GC contenders back.
KerisVroom27-05-2025 - Adam must be happy, for his brother ;-) Ayuso must have caught the same bacteria as Primoz when they crashed ;-), might retire before the end. This Giro is turning out far more interesting than any recent GT.Mistermaumau27-05-2025
