Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcasts. Recap of stage six of the Giro

Ditalia Grande Casino. We have a sprint stage in Naples today from Paisdum, which is south of Naples.

It's like a major ancient Greek city, apparently, and there's some ruins there. It looks pretty cool, and it is,

maybe you could combine that with a Pompeon Herculaneum visit. Anyway, we're going to head north

on the coast and then a bit inland to Napoli, Naples. We have no real climbing of note.

Category 4, 6K, 3% climb at the start it's otherwise totally flat except

for the finish which is in the piazza de plebisite I guess that's piazza of the people

and it's cobbles it's uphill it's 5% it's I guess that's Pietro of the people.

And it's cobbles.

It's uphill.

It's 5%. It's, you can sort of see the coast from it.

It's in front of the Grand, the Big Palace.

Why don't you run us through the last 5Ks of this Benji?

Well, I don't know the exact 5Ks by heart.

What I do know is that the final segment has a U-turn in it on a cobble sector, basically.

It's not like flamish cobbles, but the cobbles aren't exactly laying very well, especially

if rain starts to occur, then it's very slippery and can endanger, especially with that

U-Bend being a part of that parkour. But I will add that also in the run-up towards it, quite a bit of roundabouts. I don't necessarily hate the inclusion of roundabouts in the last five kilometers in the run-into-it sprint, for example. I have more of a problem with that cobblestone segment in the final. But I think we should hit that when we get to it, because I've got a few takes on that,

if I'm being honest. But I first want to talk a bit more chill, Patrick, about the

breakaway. Breakway of four riders, Vergalito, Matia Baez, Marche, Lucian Tarozzi. So we've got four

Italians and that is the breakaway.

It's under control by the likes of having Bostians for Quick Step.
