Gino MÄDER (SUI/BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS) hangs on to win by 12s		share this photo
Gino MÄDER (SUI/BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS): "Yesterday was a very sad day to lose Mikel [Landa] due to a crash. Today we had other goals. Obviously, not having to protect Mikel anymore, we had to race aggressively and go for breakaways. Matej [Mohoric] did an incredible job. He believed in me and he said yesterday that this would be the stage for me to win. I’m really happy to finish a win off like this. I actually do not know much about Gino Bartali. My parents have both always been cyclists, I’m just honoured to have the same name but I’m still far away from Bartali’s achievements and I’ll probably never reach his level. For me, the Giro has always been the most beautiful race in the world. It’s the race I always dreamt of being part of. To be a stage winner is even better."		share this photo

Your Stage 6 winner, 24 year old Gino MÄDER (SUI/BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS). It’s his second pro victory after taking a stage of the Tour of Hainan in China in 2018.		share this photo
Your Stage 6 winner, Gino MÄDER (SUI/BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS). Never before have the first six stages of the Giro d’Italia been won by riders from six different nations: Italy (Ganna), Belgium (Merlier), The Netherlands (Van der Hoorn), USA (Dombrowski), Australia (Ewan) and Switzerland (Mäder).		share this photo
New race leader by 11s, Attila VALTER (HUN/GROUPAMA-FDJ)		share this photo
New race leader, Attila VALTER (HUN/GROUPAMA-FDJ): “I’m sorry to disappoint Remco [Evenepoel] and [Egan] Bernal but they will have their chances. I managed to stick with them today. The closer I stayed nearing the finish, the more I believed I’d wear the Maglia Rosa. I was fighting my life for this jersey. I’m super happy it happened. I have good legs these days, I’m already happy with what we have achieved here but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are other surprises later on. I'm hoping to 'do an Almeida' and keep the lead for a long time. It gives me a lot of confidence. In the future I want to come back to win the Maglia Rosa on the last day. I still hope for a majestic grande partenza of the Giro in Budapest, and to be part of the race.”		share this photo
