The Giro leaves the Abruzzo region with a 216.5km stage from Vasto to Melfi. The majority of the stage is flat but there are two tough back-to-back climbs in the final 40km – Valico del Laghi di Monticchio (6.4km at 6.3%) and Valico La Croce (3.2km at 5.7%). Sprinters or attackers: who will prevail?

#feedback the preview of the course with constant rotation of the compass does not help at all. I would love a usual map, where north is up to get an idea of where they were going 🙂
Allez Thibaut. Nice to see him fighting for a jersey. Hope he can get a stage win in this tour. Been a fan of him for his entire career
Always good to see passionate TP. I like his style
Rojloc wearing a mask wtf 😮
WHY U TELLING WHO WON
BEFORE THEY HIT THE LINE U FN CLOWN 😡😵💫😡😡🖕
Once again, Clueless Rob Hatch announcing the sprint winner 15 secs BEFORE we all get to see it ourselves. He must be annoying at Surprise Parties. 🙄
EIGHT YEARS since his last stage win at the Giro? 😲
That's a SUPERB result for Mr Matthews! 🤗 Well done, mate! 👍 (Great effort by Groves, too…)
M 🦘🏏😎
Please do your highlights more like LanterneRouge
lol- he was pedaling squares the last 20m
What's the name of the bloke commenting on the GCN giro. I like his pronunciation. Unlike the boguns that we have on SBS in Australia.
Matthews cut up Mads a bit there. Doesn't take much to wreck someones sprint.
So happy for Matthews – always a great competitor/in the mix and fully deserves the win.
These type.of stages need to be removed from grand tours. Boring as hell and the pure sprinter is no longer a thing in the peloton as most sprinters these days are all rounders. They would be better bringing back longer TTT's. Boring days riding would be better off watching my club out for a cafe ride.
Thanks again for the content
3/4 of this race I kept thinking why did I get up this early for the start of this race..It was so slow.
0:12 balloons doing an impersonation of Remco sans the white shorts!…. LOL
Bling!!!!
tomorrows race…i wanna see
hahaha,mountains
thanks a lot GCN R
i am watching you GCN R
do ur job well …hahaha
peace and love
Israel Premier should be removed from this race after the terrorist strike on Gaza.
Even though I despise GCN+ for taking races that used to be free in Australia and putting them behind a paywall, at least the daily updates are good.
Why would you announce the winner 15 seconds before the finish, especially when it was a reasonably close finish? Seriously, WTF?
Força João Almeida 💪
Abraço desde Aveiro 🇵🇹
Well done Michael Matthews and Team Jayco.
I have a novice question; why the two cyclist goes alone at the start even they had no chance to arrive first at the end?
What have they done with the colour of the jersey!!!
Amazing race. Well done GCN Racing.
Is it 3 star stage because of the distance? Profile didn't look too difficult
Dose anyone know what song name of the background music at beginning?
Brazil ligado no giro de Itália
Remco wore the pink jersey for 2 days. so does he get to take it home? or does he have to give back since the race is not over yet… like MVDP last year at TDF ??? thanks
It's Giant Propel man 😀
Stop telling us who wins 100 metres out
What's the music, sounds like they got ltj bukem on set 👍
Instead of ruining the result of the finish by saying who the winner is when they approach the line, the winner is usually announced at 200-500 meters to go.
For the last kilometer or few hundred meters of the race just show the live audio and video, it’s more exciting to feel the energy and suspense of the live announcers instead the summary here telling you who the winner is before you show the sprint. I really cannot understand why you think the viewers would want the winner told to them in advance of watching it. SHOW us who won , wont TELL before.
00:18 Whomever made the call for amber-walled, vintage-looking tires on the Bora team bikes is doin' it right!
