Australian Kaden Groves won the fifth stage of the Giro d'Italia in a sprint on Wednesday, which turned into a bowling alley in Salerno. Remco Evenepoel fell a second time, this time in a chaotic final, less than three kilometers from the finish, at a time when the rankings are frozen.

Mark Cavendish bit the asphalt in a very spectacular way just a few meters from the line that he still managed to cross, belly to the ground.
