CATHOLIC – Caleb Ewan burns Giacomo Nizzolo at the finish line in Cattolica. The Australian won a very tight sprint by force and pocketed his fourth success on the roads of the Giro d’Italia. Fifth stage started from Modena, 177 km all flat, slow pace after the fatigue and the cold of Sestola. About sixty km from the finish, Davide Gabburo and the Swiss Simon Pellaud try to escape, their advantage is close to 2 ‘at most. The Frenchman Alexis Gougeard joins the -20km, but the fugitives’ fate is sealed.
