Giro d'Italia 2026 Stage 6 Results: Davide Ballerini Survives Wet Cobbles

Davide Ballerini dodged a mass of crashes on the final corner on slick Naples cobbles to win Stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia 2026 on Thursday, as overall leader Afonso Eulálio finished safely in the peloton.

As sprinters, jockeying for position for the final run to the line, went tumbling in a series of crashes, Ballerini and Jasper Stuyven emerged upright and alone.

The pair surged for line, and the XDS Astana man held off the Belgian Soudal Quick-Step rider who had leading out teammate Paul Maginer.

"When we arrived at the last corner, I saw the first guys had crashed," Ballerini said. "I just exited from the corner, and I heard on the radio 'Go! Go! Go! To the finish! To the finish! There's a gap.'

"I was just hoping the line was coming really fast, and I made it. I'm really happy.

It was the 31-year-old Italian's first Grand Tour stage victory.

"Finally," he said. 

"I was hoping to win one stage on the Giro, but it was not the plan today," he said, adding he was at the front to lead out Astana sprinter Matteo Malucelli. "In cycling, there is always some problems, and when you don't expect the results, the win comes."

2026 Giro d'Italia


At the end of a rare flat stage, the sprinters had been eyeing their chances, but also the clouds, afraid more rain could turn the cobbled finish into a repeat of last year's wet and chaotic sixth stage, also into Naples, when racing was neutralized for 20 kilometers after a mass crash 70 kilometers from the end.

While the rain largely held off, the the final corner was slick from an earlier shower.

One of the sprint favorites, Jonathan Milan of Lidl-Trek, said the organizers had been asking for trouble.

"Luckily, I didn't crash - I was able to stay on my bike - but they fully crashed in front of me," Milan said. "it wasn't their fault, we knew that it could be super slippery if it rains on this kind of cobbles. I really don't get why we have to try to find these complicated finishes. We know it could rain, so why not just do a finish where it's straight?

"But with two drops of water, we have a huge mess. It's painful to see others sprint for the win, and it's painful to see other riders crash around you."

So, So Close For Paul Magnier At Giro d'Italia 2026

Frenchman Magnier, climbed back on his bike to grab third. He already had wins in Stage 1 and Stage 3 of this year's Giro.

"So, so close..." he posted on social media after his team took second and third.

After a draining start to the Giro, and with a tough weekend ahead, the peloton settled for an easy day in a 142-kilometer run up the Tyrrhenian coast from Paestum.

The pack rolled through the stage in cool and mostly dry conditions, untroubled by any sustained breakaways, reaching the finish more than 35 minutes after the arrival time predicted by race organizers.

Portuguese rider Eulálio, who became the first rider from the Bahrain Victorious to lead the Giro, and the first with all five vowels in his family name, to lead any major tour when he finished second Wednesday, despite crashing in the final kilometers, remains 2 minutes, 51 seconds ahead of Spaniard Igor Arrieta, his breakaway companion the day before.

Friday's stage is a 244-kilometer run starting in Formia and ending with an infamous 7-kilometer climb to the Apennine peak of Blockhaus.

It will offer race favorite Jonas Vingegaard, who is 6 minutes, 22 seconds off the lead, a chance make a move on Eulálio, himself a specialist climber.
