Cycling: As expected, the sixth stage of the Giro d'Italia featured a classic sprint royal. The Frenchman Arnaud Démare won this ahead of the Australian Caleb Ewan and the British Mark Cavendish.
Démare wins just ahead of Ewan
Consolidates with his second stage win in a row Arnaud Demare (Groupama – FDJ) his lead in the points classification. The Frenchman could do in the classic Sprint Royal Caleb ewan (Lotto – Soudal) from Australia and Mark Cavendish (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) from Great Britain. The racing events of today's section over 192 kilometers from Palmi to Scalea can be quickly told. In the person of Diego Rose (Eolo – Kometa) we saw only one outlier. The Italian won the mountains classification of the day before Lennard Kamna (Bora – hansgrohe). In the main field, the teams Lotto - Soudal, Groupama - FDJ and Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl provided control.
Nibali announces resignation
Although he was irrelevant in yesterday's stage he belonged Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) the day before among the most sought-after men. Finally, the section ended in his hometown of Messina. And the now 37-year-old actually had a lot to say. After just over 20 years of professional cycling, the Italian will be giving up his bike at the end of the season.
Vinceno Nibali:
"I'm very relaxed. It was the right moment to tell the crowd that this will be my last Giro d'Italia. I try to approach the Giro with ease. Of course I have big ambitions, but it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the front runners every year."
