Cyclists in the Giro d'Italia: Performance and Challenges

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Mads Pedersen's surprise stage win in Matera, which came after a difficult finale where his Lidl-Trek team impressively controlled the front group. They discuss how Pedersen's teammate Mathias Vacek put in a herculean effort to set him up for the win, and the GC jostling we saw on the final climb between UAE's impressive-looking team and Primož Roglič. Before they take off, they preview Thursday's Stage 6, a likely sprint stage before things get harder heading into the weekend. They predict who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.
