Whatever tha camera catches i guess. The same with Nibali in the Vuelta back. Plus it's Sky..

Chad Haga was right behind them and seems to be saying it was mostly Moreno  who was at fault..

Pelucchi, the ultimate anti-climber, fell 80km from the finish, but finished the stage nonetheless :bowdown:

Finish in Messina, the city of Nibali....and someone from Nibali's team, Pibernik, doesn't know there is a local 'circuit' and thinks he won :lol:

Giro d'Italia Stage 6: Reggio Calabria-Terme Luigiane

The route is basically flat, with just a few climbs and undulations in the first part, and finishes at the top of the short Terme Luigiane uphill stretch. The stage starts from Reggio Calabria (prologue town in 2005 and stage town in nine occasions) and the first 190 km are on a wide trunk road, at points a fast-flow road, with no grade-level intersections. The route clears the Barritteri categorised climb, and heads for an intermediate sprint in Mileto. Next comes a short, steep climb after Marina di Fuscaldo, followed by a technical descent leading to the final 15 kilometres. Note that the route takes a 600-m stretch on dual carriageway, and descends on hairpin bends 4 km before the finish that takes place in Terme Luigiane (already stage town five times).   The final climb totals 2 km at an average 5.3% gradient, on wide, well-surfaced roadway, with no sharp changes of direction. The final km has a 5 to 10% gradient. The home stretch, running entirely uphill, is 500 m long, on 6-m wide asphalt road.

Aren't they always though, doesn't really count. :d They haven't won a World Tour race like from 2015 or so? 

Well yeah, but they were chasing (together with Willier-Triestina who were being punished by their boss for not being in the breakaway) and in the end gave up, before restarting again, and ending pretty close from the lead group....with one of today's main favourites, Michael Woods, indeed winning the 'bunch sprint' :p

No big crash in the sprint :yikes:

 

That's surprising, given that the Giro organizers seemed to be both drunk and high on drugs when they thought this finish would be a good idea :thumbdown:
