Gregor Brown reports on-site from Potenza after a dramatic and brutal Stage 5 of the Giro d’Italia 2026.
Riders battled cold rain, crashes and chaos, with many finishing the stage shivering and bloodied after a savage day in southern Italy.
Igor Arrieta attacked, crashed, took a wrong turn and still fought back to win the stage ahead of Portuguese rider Afonso Eulálio, who claimed the overall race lead after one of the most dramatic Giro stages of the year. #Giro

Blockhaus, will be a decisive stage, only relying on the last week is now to risky for Visma. That stage, Vingegaard has to go all in. Visma and UAE approaches are different, the former pure calculation how to be on top at th end, UAE aims for emotion, especially now, they go for stage wins. This stage was crazy, the guys fighting, that we love about cycling.
Don't forget that Cancellara's origin is from Basilicata!
