Stage Six of the Giro d’Italia was brought to a halt after a mass crash caused a big pile-up in the peloton. The race had started in Potenza and was bound for Naples, but a rain-affected stage was temporarily paused after the crash.
The crash came around 72 kilometres (44 miles) from the finish line in Naples, with a Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider appearing to fall first on the wet road. The unfortunate slip sparked a major chain reaction, with around 20 riders estimated to have been taken out behind.
