This year's Grand Depart returns to France after a trio of foreign starts, with the peloton rolling out from Lille on July 5 for a 185 km anticlockwise loop that's very flat, giving a big advantage to the sprinters.

This stage won't include the traditional climbing, as it is classified as flat, with just under 1,200 meters of elevation gain and three category four climbs sprinkled along the way: Côte de Notre-Dame-de-Lorette (1 km at 7.6%), Mont Cassel (1.9 km at 3.6%), and Mont Noir (1.3 km at 6.4%). These bumps in the road will give breakaway hopefuls a chance to snag the first polka dot jersey, but the real action is likely to come in the final kilometers, where the sprinters' teams will be working overtime to reel everyone back in. The finish line on Boulevard Vauban in Lille is as straight as they come, setting the stage for a high-speed bunch sprint. With 50 green jersey points up for grabs at the finish, expect top sprinters like Jasper Philipsen and Biniam Girmay to be right in the mix. Girmay, in particular, is chasing history—he could become the first Black African rider to wear the yellow jersey if he nabs the win.

A 203km ride from Piazzola sul Brenta to San Valentino featured four brutal climbs, totalling up to 4,900m of elevation, with heavy rainfall leading to several crashes. Scaroni and teammate Lorenzo Fortunato broke away on the final climb, a punishing 12.6km stretch at an average gradient of 8.3 per cent, and built a sizeable lead to ensure a one-two finish for the XDS Astana Team. "I'm really happy to win a stage of the Giro d'Italia. Lorenzo Fortunato and I fought very hard and very well," Scaroni said. "He let me win the stage. I was at the limit in the last kilometre. It was very steep there." Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe) was third, completing an all-Italian podium. In the overall standings, Mexican Del Toro is now just 26 seconds ahead of Simon Yates (Visma–Lease a Bike) after running out of steam with 3km to go and failing to keep up with the Briton and Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost). Carapaz, winner of the 2019 Giro and a gold medallist at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, started the day over two minutes behind Del Toro but now trails by 31 seconds after an explosive effort on the final climb. "At the end we knew it was a real key stage here. I think I went well and I demonstrated what I've worked (on), everything it's cost me to get here and be here once again," Carapaz told TNT Sports. "I think in the last few years I haven't had the aptitude, the shape to be here in this moment but that was the motivation to get myself up and go ahead and be here and try it once more. "And good, I think we're good to give a big battle and go for it." Day of crashes Earlier on May 27, Slovenian Roglic abandoned the Giro after suffering another crash on a downhill section alongside Ecuadorean Carapaz. The 2023 winner's title bid had suffered a major blow after a crash on May 24, his third in a week, with Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe's sports director Christian Pomer saying on May 25 the team could decide to pull the 35-year-old out of the race. Welshman Joshua Tarling (INEOS Grenadiers), the stage two winner, also abandoned the race after a heavy crash.
