Giro: What time and on which TV channel can you watch the 5th stage Ceglie Messapica - Matera this Wednesday, May 14?

On a roll since the big start in Albania, can Mads Pedersen continue to sweep the board at this Giro ? The fifth stage, between Ceglie Messapica and Matera, certainly has everything going for him on paper. While it's not particularly difficult, which should allow the favorites for the general classification to have a warm day, the profile does include a few hills and a false flat towards the end, which should favor a strong sprinter.

The Dane, the first to wear the pink jersey, has shown on numerous occasions that he has the ability to negotiate sprints on low gradients... But he will have to keep a close eye on Wout van Aert, who is arguably just as well equipped for this type of course. In 2020, the finish in Lecce had in any case smiled on one sprinter, in this case Arnaud Démare, who had managed to break away from a reduced peloton in the final meters.

The fifth stage of the Giro can be followed this Wednesday, May 14, on Eurosport 1 from 1:50 p.m.
