Taking part in his first Grand Tour, Giosue Epis spent stage 5 of his national tour at the front, heading for Matera.

The finish was on a steep climb that went up quickly, which meant that the peloton was skimmed off the top. Martin Tjøtta tried to get in on the action at the start of the finish and finished in the middle of the peloton, which had thinned out to around sixty riders by the line. Gisouè rode most of the stage at the front, a great experience for him in this Giro, which he is discovering for the first time.

My objective and that of the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team on this 5th stage of the Giro was to get into the breakaway and try to do my best to show the red and black colours, particularly during the intermediate and bonus sprints. And that's exactly what I did. I'm happy with the day I spent in the lead on my National Tour, the first of my career. It was a good stage and I'm feeling good. So it's a good sign for the rest of the competition and the days ahead.
