A day that will life long in the memory for all the wrong reasons, stage 5 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia was marred by multiple crashes including one in the final 100m as Mark Cavendish slid across the finish line on his side.
Kaden Groves of Alpecin-Deceuninck who himself had hit the deck earlier in the day, clearly had bounced back well as he proved to have more than enough power left in his legs as he took the first Giro d'Italia stage win of his career.
Mark Cavendish however, competing in his first bunch sprint finish of this year's Giro d'Italia, seemingly lost the back wheel as the treacherous weather conditions played their part. The British national champion flew into Filippo Fiorelli, pushing him into the barriers and then sliding across the finish line on his side.
Impressively, Cavendish still managed to place 5th in the sprint despite the fact he wasn't even up right! Chec out the drama in the video below.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
