00:00Toma still there, Pietrobon, they're closing on him, but they're stalling, Pallini can't do any more.
00:05Valgren sprints, Pietrobon, Valgren trying to go after the Italian, it's going to be close,
00:11Pietrobon is tying up, here comes Toma, Valgren and Toma come to the fore,
00:16and Benjamin Toma wins Stage 5, and it could hardly have been closer.
00:23Stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia was the much-anticipated 180km from Torre del Lago Puccini in Viareggio
00:35to a much-anticipated finish in Rapolano Terme in Tuscany, featuring three gravel sectors,
00:42two of which regularly feature in Strade Bianche.
00:46A long, flat run-in with a tailwind meant that the opening 70, 80, 90km of the race
00:51were always going to be aggressive as a big group tried to get free.
00:55Simon Clarke from Israel Premiertech repeatedly tried to place himself in a breakaway,
01:00but with so many different teams trying to get in a move, it was chaotic, fast racing.
01:05Julian Alaphilippe, Attila Valter, a number of riders repeatedly attacking,
01:10and they made their way to the first climb of the day, the Volterra climb,
01:14and it was there that a group finally, featuring Julian Alaphilippe once again, got free.
01:20Filippo Fiorelli going over the climb in first place,
01:24a brilliant bit of climbing from the rider from VF group Bardiani.
01:28Luke Plapp, the Australian national champion,
01:30following the move of his great friend Caden Groves, the Australian sprinter then,
01:34eventually prized away a seven-rider group when Andrea Vendrami got across,
01:39and that was the first time that the race took stable shape.
01:43But eventually, it started to split up as they headed towards the first bonus sprint
01:48at Cosole d'Elsa with Caden Groves, taking the points from Filippo Fiorelli
01:53and closing his disadvantage to Jonathan Milan in the Maglia Ciclamino.
01:58Then they hit the first of the gravel sectors,
02:00and the group of seven riders were still back together again,
02:03as behind them in the peloton, Ineos Grenadiers started to race hard
02:06to position Geraint Thomas on the lead.
02:09Up and over the last categorized climb of the day,
02:12which was also the end of the second gravel sector,
02:15Tup Grotti, those three riders were still together.
02:21Through the Intergiro sprint, inseparable, and onto the final gravel sector.
02:28And then, in the second gravel sector,
02:30the group of seven riders were still back together again,
02:32as behind them in the peloton, Ineos Grenadiers started to race hard.
02:36And then, in the second gravel sector,
02:48that led to the final bonus sprint.
02:50It was far from certain whether these three riders would still stay out,
02:53as the peloton were racing hard behind and controlling.
02:56Slight scare for Sanchez and Alaphilippe on his wheel
02:59allowed Luc Platt to build up a slight lead,
03:02which they had to peg back, and Julie did.
03:06We're heading to the final punchy climb of Serre di Rapolano.
03:10Julian Alaphilippe tried to get clear with four kilometers remaining,
03:13but Sanchez was tracking him all the way, and so too was Luc Platt.
03:20Stage number six, this famous Tascan stage
03:23that has produced drama from the flag drop in Viareggio.
03:26And here we come, Platt past a beaten Sanchez now,
03:29trying to get alongside Julian Alaphilippe.
03:31Sanchez pushing for the line.
03:33It's going to be Sanchez and Alaphilippe,
03:35and Sanchez gets there, he can't believe it.
03:38What a victory from the man from Robbistown.
03:51The winner of stage six ahead of Julian Alaphilippe.
03:57No big changes in the top ten in the general classification for Taddei Pogacar,
04:01heading into the time trial.
04:03But a slightly diminished lead in the Mallea Ciclamino for Jonathan Milan.
04:09As Taddei Pogacar continued in the King of the Mountains lead from Lilian Kanjan,
04:17Can Utterbrooks continues in the white jersey competition.
04:33Can Utterbrooks continues in the white jersey competition.
