14:50 / 120 km – Cavendish blows kisses

The car, Thomas De Gendt of Team Lotto-Soudal, is still the boss in the ring leading the pack. The pace in the group is still moderate after 72 km. Mark Cavendish even has time to kiss his son in front of the camera. The best sprinter looks extremely relaxed with 120 kilometers to go.

14:40 / 128 km – The time of the Giro on Thursday

With Diego Rosa (Eolo-Kometa) running alone with a lead of 4’02 and the group still reluctant to give the gas on the route from Palmi to Scalea, let’s take a look at the Meteo in Calabria. The sky above the Giro group is clear to slightly cloudy. The wind blows from the south at 9 km / h with gusts up to 22 km / h. The probability of rain is 5 percent and the temperature is 20 degrees. The best time for cycling: neither too hot nor too cold.

Live lap – 13:36 / 167 km – Diego Rosa first breakaway of the day

It is finally getting too colorful for Diego Rosa. The pro of the Eolo-Kometa Team tries to escape while in the front rows Lotto-Soudal and Groupama-FDJ continue to control the pace. Eurosport expert Bernhard Eisel is surprised by Rosa’s run. The former Austrian professional was expecting an attack from Rosa on Friday on his way to Potenza.

13:28 / 170 km – De Gendt takes the helm

13:16 / 176 km – Slow train instead of running pace

The whoop data from Julius van den Berg of Team EF Education-EasyPost reflects the current racial situation. The Dutchman rolls into the regeneration area in the group with a heart rate of 125 beats per minute. Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) and Dries De Bondt (Alpecin-Fenix) roll comfortably at the head of the group. Mark Cavendish and Caleb Ewan use the slow train speed for a chat between sprint specialists. Fairness is very important in cycling. Hopefully this will also happen in the final sprint of the 6th stage, which will in all likelihood become a mass sprint.

13:03 / 188 km – Good mood in the group

The signs clearly point to a mass sprint this Thursday. Some pros mock the situation, faking the occasional attack with a mischievous smile on their face, only to fall back once the cameras are on them. Let’s see if any runners dare to ride the climb at L. Razza Airport with the 4th category mountain classification after 34 kilometers – calm before the storm.

The race director waves the blue flag from the traditional red head vehicle at the zero kilometer race. Lotto-Soudal blocks the road for the moment because the field is still in the city and one or the other roundabout must be crossed. Safety in first place at the start of the 6th stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia.

Giro 2022 – 12:38 – The group starts from Palmi

Led by the leaders of the individual categories around Juan Pedro Lopez in the pink jersey and Lennard Kämna (mountain jersey), the field of runners moves in Palmi under the bright sun. The departure is reminiscent of a triumphal ride, because the narrow streets of Palmi are lined with numerous spectators. The group will now complete a neutralized race over the next 9km before the pros really start pedaling and the first breakaway group will emerge.
