Race Recap
Groves takes stage 5
Kaden Groves (ADC) takes stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia ahead of Jonathan Milan (TBV) after 171km of rainy, slick conditions.
"I surprised myself, I think, today," Groves said to reporters at the finish. "Everything was going well but I crashed at the roundabout corner at seven kilometres to go. Luckily, I put my chain back on fast enough and the groups came back together, but it wasn't very clean, we all got lost. The guys did a good job very early and luckily, I was good enough to be in position with DSM and have the legs to lead out and win.
"It's a dream. This is the race I've been focussing on since November and December. I just want to thank the team, everyone involved, my teammates. They believed in me and, after two thirds this week, they delivered me to a win."
After a chaotic stage, Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM) retains the pink jersey.
