Giro d’Italia 2023: Kaden Groves wins Stage 5, Remco Evenepoel crashes twice, Mark Cavendish slides across finish
A hellish day at the Giro d’Italia saw Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) crash twice – once after a dog ran into the peloton – and Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) slide on his torso across the finish line behind Stage 5 winner Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
After the dog incident, the race had settled down until the liveliest of finales on a rain-soaked day in the saddle.
