Cycling: So far the Giro d'Italia has remained true to itself this year. No stage was really flat. It's the same tomorrow. Therefore, the escapees again have a good chance of winning the day.
Velomotion forecast: Ineos goes hunting for stages with Narváez
From Castrovillari to Matera, tomorrow's Giro d'Italia has to cover 188,0 kilometers. The pros can't rest on the sixth stage either, because the route can be described as bumpy from the start. Although only in Millotta a mountain of the third category has to be climbed, the classification riders should also be vigilant. Because this is followed by a descent and an extremely unrhythmic final climb. Large time gaps - or time gaps at all - between the favorites are still rather unlikely.
Accordingly, it will probably not be possible to find a team that consistently chases after the escape group. Sunweb and Bora - hansgrohe should see little chance for their captains Michael Matthews and Peter Sagan - unless the two go directly into the group. That's why the breakaways will be cheering tomorrow. We bet on a win by Johnatan Narvaez! The British team Ineos has already shown today that they are chasing stages after Geraint Thomas' exit. Tomorrow the man from Ecuador could be the right one for that.
