Stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia was not ideal for born sprinters like Fernando Gaviria since its last kilometers were in slight ascent, but the striking thing is that victory remained in the hands of Frenchman Arnaud Demare, who is the Colombian’s main rival in the dispute over packaging.
The Colombian Juan Sebastián Molano was the great surprise of the day on reaching the finish line in fourth place.
The peloton arrived compactly at the finish of the day and when the road began to get steep, the selection left the favorites of the general classification together with some specialists in this type of arrivals. Peter Sagan and Michael Matthews were the great candidates for the win, but both were left at the mercy of Demare.
Everyone involved in the fight for the top spots in the rankings came in the top group, so there were no changes at the top of the table.
This Friday’s stage is the first of the race totally flat, which makes it a unique opportunity for Gaviria to start to stand out in the last grand tour of the season and celebrate your first win in this edition.
