Stage 6: Kaden Groves wins chaotic stage 6 following race neutralisation / How it unfolded – Live coverage

Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) navigated a day of chaos to win stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia, getting through a big crash and a race stoppage to claim his first victory of the year.

In a frantic final, the Australian proved the fastest in a somewhat reduced sprint, speeding to the line ahead of Milan Fretin (Cofidis) and Paul Magnier (Soudal QuickStep).

A mass crash with 70km to go saw the race temporarily stopped and GC times on the stage neutralised, and several riders abandon, including Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).

Stage 5: Mads Pedersen extends his lead with third win on stage 5 in Matera / How it unfolded – Live coverage

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) reinforced his title as the rider of the Giro d’Italia’s first week, scoring his third stage win in five days on a tricky, punchy finish in Matera.

The Dane, already in the maglia rosa of race leader and the favourite to win here, duly delivered on his form despite seeming to be in trouble on a late hill at 2km to go.

He made it back to the front – and onto teammate Mathias Vacek’s wheel – inside the final kilometre, perfectly timing his surge to hold off Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain Victorious) and Tom Pidcock (Q36.5) in the final run to the line.

Stage 4: Casper van Uden claims stage 4 sprint victory as Mads Pedersen is delayed behind late-race crash / How it unfolded - Live coverage

Casper Van Uden (Picnic-PostNL) claimed the sprint victory on stage 4 at the Giro d'Italia after a chaotic sprint into Lecce. It was an all-Dutch podium as Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) finished second and Maikel Zijlaard  (Tudor) third, while maglia rosa Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was off the podium in fourth on the day.

Pedersen was held up after being caught behind a crash with 20km to go, but his team worked to bring him back to the front for the final sprint, and although he could only manage fourth after the tiring effort, he hung on to the overall race lead.

Stage 3: Giro d'Italia: Mads Pedersen blazes to sprint victory on stage 3 and reclaims maglia rosa/ How it unfolded - Live coverage

Lidl-Trek lived up to their super team status during stage 3, producing a dominant team performance before leading out Mads Pedersen to the stage victory. 

The Dane used his speed to win again and the time bonus meant he took back the maglia rosa from Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe). 

Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) was a close second and Orluis Aular (Movistar) third in the sprint as the GC riders avoided any dangers or risks before transfering to Italy for stage 4 on Tuesday. 

Stage 2: Giro d'Italia: Josh Tarling wins stage 2 time trial as Primož Roglič takes over maglia rosa / How it unfolded - Live coverage

Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) became the youngest winner of a Giro time trial in Tirana, showing his maturity and pure time trial skills on the 13.7km city centre course. Tarling set a time of set a time of 16:07, riding at an average speed of 51.003km/h.

Stage 1 winner Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) and runner-up Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) were expected to fight for the maglia rosa but 2023 Giro winner Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) stunned them ands his overall rivals with a superb time trial performance. 

Roglič was just one second slower than Tarling but finished 11 seconds faster than Pedersen, to take the maglia rosa by a single second. His GC rivals lost between ten and 40 seconds. 

Stage 1: Mads Pedersen edges Wout van Aert to win stage 1 and claim first pink jersey / How it unfolded - Live coverage

Former world champion Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) outsprinted Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) by half a bike length and won the opening stage of the 2025 Giro d'Italia. Orluis Aular (Movistar) was next in the bunch finish and claimed third. 

Pedersen's team controlled the two Surrel climbs on the final finish circuits to set up the Dane's first-ever leader's jersey of a Grand Tour. Pedersen leads the overall classification by four seconds over Van Aert, and another two seconds over Aular.

With 5km to go, a crash took out several riders, including Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) and Geoffrey Bouchard (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), who were not able to finish.
