Stage 6

The road

At the start

The longest day, to Naples

227 kilometres, the longest stage of this Giro, from Potenza down to Naples, with 2,500 metres of climbing to wear the legs out first. Mads Pedersen still leads Primož Roglič by seventeen seconds. The finishing circuits along the bay are narrow, technical and fast — a day nobody can win the race on, and anybody can lose it on.
