Davide Ballerini won stage six of cycling's Giro d'Italia on Friday after navigating a series of crashes on the final corner of the wet cobblestone streets in Naples. Ballerini avoided the pileups that occurred in the closing meters of the stage to cross the line first.
The slick conditions caused multiple riders to fall on the final corner. Overall leader Afonso Eulalio finished safely within the main peloton and retained the general classification lead after the stage. Race officials reported no immediate updates on injuries from the crashes.
Rain left the Naples streets slippery for the concluding part of the stage. The final corner proved decisive as several riders lost control on the cobbles. Ballerini threaded through the chaos to secure the victory. The main group, including the race leader, stayed clear of the incident and completed the stage without issue.
The result leaves the overall standings unchanged at the top following the sixth stage of the three-week race.
