Stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia ended in chaos as Davide Ballerini powered to victory in Naples after a huge crash on the final wet cobbled corner split the sprint apart. Pre-race favourites were wiped out in the pile-up, but Ballerini and Jasper Stuyven stayed clear, with the Italian taking his first Grand Tour stage win.The stage from Paestum looked routine until the final kilometre, where rain and the sharp turn created carnage. Paul Magnier somehow avoided the crash to finish third, while Afonso Eulálio safely held the maglia rosa ahead of the first summit finish on Blockhaus.
