Summary
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down David Ballerini's unexpected stage win on Stage 6 in the heart of Naples after a late crash on the cobbled finishing straight took down the day's top contenders. They debate if the finish was safe, and discuss how GC teams are taking safety into their own hands in these sprint finishes, as well as how aggressive tire choices could be to blame for these crashes on wet days. They then preview tomorrow's Stage 7, which serves up a brutal summit finish at Blockhaus, which is sure to create gaps amongst the top GC contenders. Listen in to see what the duo thinks of the stage, how the action will play out tomorrow, who will come out on top, and which riders present the best betting value.

| 0:45.1 | It was won by Davidae Balerini from XDS Astana, not the winner we thought, not how we |
| 0:51.8 | thought it would play out. I mean, talk about just being there, being ready, grabbing the opportunity when it comes. |
