The keys to the 6th stage of Giro: "It was for sprinters and they took advantage of it"

Rafael Carrascoformer professional cyclist and former sports director of the historic Kelme teamstudy the sixth stage of the Giro d’Italia for MD.

X-RAY OF THE STAGE

Very quiet stage in general, only one rider did 140 km solo, Diego Rosa. Logically, he was caught by the peloton, but he has already done his advertising for the team and sponsors, and the peloton has calmed down, this is probably the calmest stage so far. Ultimately, a dangerous and controversial sprint was won by Démare. Logical stage, it was for sprinters and they took advantage of it

THE FAVORITES

They are only concerned with the kilometers passed, calmly, training and thinking about the stage of tomorrow. No one tried anything and everyone gathered in the peloton

THE SPANISH

What can we say if we are leaders! López continues to lead and without any problems, neither he nor his team. Valverde, Landa and company have arrived in the group. Calm day.

SINGLE THINKING

The favorites will think about the open stage, what tactics the teams should follow, because tomorrow is a stage that the favorites have to worry about, hard, mid-mountain, complicated

FRIDAY PERIOD

A stage that will be extremely competitive and where the race will be ruined. There will be escapes and anything can happen. I don’t think the favorites will be attacked, because the first-class port is far away, yes he will be a deputy. There will be breakaways and we’ll see what happens, I think the leader can hold out if the team responds and they run intelligently.
