Giro d'Italia stages 4, 5 & 6 preview

We've had an ITT, a flat stage and an intermediate stage, and a seriously soggy one too now that the Giro d'Italia has started to crank up the pain. Former race leader and Giro favourite Remco Evenpoel will certainly be feeling it after his dog-induced crash but the Belgian has vowed to grit his teeth and get through it.

Andreas Leknessund remains in the maglia rosa at the beginning of today's stage, 28 seconds ahead of Evenpoel.

Stage 6 is an all-Naples affair, starting and ending in southern Italy's most famous city. There's a whistle-stop tour of Vesuvius and Sorrento, with 2,800m of gain thanks largely to the Picco Sant’Angelo.

Andreas Leknessund has become the first Norwegian to wear the pink jersey since Knut Knudsen back in 1981. Paret-Peintre now sits in third. Portugal's Joao Almeida is in fourth, one minute off the lead, with Primoz Roglic at +01:12.

With 21 stages of hard racing over 23 days, it's the most beautiful method of torture on the UCI World Tour. You can take a look at the full Giro d'Italia 2023 live stream details on our main page or use the info below.

Today: Stage 6

Stage 6 of the Giro is another opportunity for the sprinters to strut their stuff with the lion's share of the 2.8km of climbing taken care of long before the 60km of flat ahead of the finish which is right back where the stage begins – in Napoli. The riders begin by skirting round Vesuvius, then hit the hills with two big climbs before coming down into the town of Sorrento and along the coast back to the home of the latest Serie A winners. Expect the finish at around 4.15pm BST.
