(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 14 – Mads Pedersen won the fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia from Ceglie Messapica to Matera, 151 kilometers long. The Dane, with his third stage win, kept the pink jersey.
In the sprint to the finish line in Matera, Pedersen beat a surprising Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain Victorious) by a whisker.
Third place for Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling). Tomorrow is the sixth stage from Potenza to Naples, 227 kilometers long.
“It was really, really tough. In the last 20 kilometers, some uphill, I had to fight a lot but the team was fantastic”, said Pedersen to Rai Sport, after extensing his contract with Lidl-Trek.
“I came to the Giro to win as much as possible. They pay my salary, so I tried to arrive in the best shape and I try to win as many stages as possible and keep the pink jersey as long as possible”. Tomorrow is the longest stage of the 2025 Giro..
Pedersen has already won in the Campania capital in 2023.
“Two years ago it was very nice, let’s see if it happens again tomorrow, but now let’s enjoy this victory”. (ANSA).
