Stage 6 of the 2025 Giro d’Italia, held on May 15, unfolded as a dramatic and eventful day on the 227 km route from Potenza to Naples. Stage 6 Overview Distance: 227 km (longest stage of the race) Route: Departing from Potenza, the course featured rolling terrain with two categorized climbs—Valico di Monte Carruozzo (19.8 km at 3.7%) and Monteforte Irpino (14.6 km at 2.2%)—before flattening out towards the coastal finish in Naples. Major Crash and Neutralization Approximately 70 km from the finish, a significant crash occurred on wet roads, involving several riders, including former Giro winners Jai Hindley and Richard Carapaz. Hindley sustained a head injury and was forced to abandon the race, while Carapaz managed to rejoin the peloton. Other riders, such as Josef Černý and Rainer Kepplinger, also withdrew due to injuries. In response to the incident and challenging weather conditions, race organizers neutralized the stage, nullifying time gaps and bonus seconds to prioritize rider safety. Sprint Finish and Stage Results Despite the earlier chaos, the race concluded with a sprint finish in Naples. Kaden Groves of Alpecin-Deceuninck emerged victorious, marking his first win of the season. He was followed by Milan Fretin (Cofidis) in second place and Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) in third. General Classification With the stage neutralized, there were no changes in the general classification. Mads Pedersen retained the maglia rosa (pink jersey), maintaining a 17-second lead over Primož Roglič.
