Jai Hindley (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) was the most notable name in the DNF list. The main mountain helper and GC backup for Primož Roglič won the Giro d'Italia in 2022 went down near the front of the peloton and the chain reaction of braking on wet roads caused a huge pile-up.

Australian sprinter Kaden Groves triumphs on the sixth stage of the Giro d'Italia, on a dramatic day when the race is neutralised after a huge crash on the 227km ride from Potenza to Naples.

The race was neutralised after a serious crash with around 70km to go on wet, slippery roads, with 2022 winner Hindley, Intermarchy-Wanty’s Dion Smith and Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Juri Hollmann all abandoning as a result of their injuries.
