Italy’s Davide Ballerini won stage six of the Giro d’Italia after the favourites crashed on the final cobbled sector in Naples. Rain started to fall as the peloton geared up for a bunch sprint when four riders fell on a cobbled corner, causing chaos and taking France’s Paul Magnier and Italy’s Jonathan Milan out of contention. Ballerini, 31, was on the inside of the right-hand corner and slipped by the mess of riders and bikes to power up the hill towards the finish line, keeping Belgium’s Jasper Stuyven of Soudal-Quick Step at bay.

Spain’s Igor Arrieta beat Afonso Eulalio of Portugal to win a soaking-wet stage five of the Giro d’Italia after a thrilling breakaway battle, although Eulalio had the consolation of taking the overall lead. The pair had been battling it out for victory since riding away from the peloton with about 50km to go in torrential rain, before suffering identical heavy late crashes. Both riders slid into the kerb after losing their front wheels on left-hand corners on roads covered by streams of rainwater, leaving them covered in cuts and with ripped Lycra.
