Welcome to live coverage of stage five of the Giro d'Italia - a largely flat 203km ride from Cosenza to Matera in the deep south of Italy which could well come down to a bunch sprint despite two punchy climbs towards the finish.

Wiggins stays in sixth place and Uran stays in second place. The results have been modified. Perhaps all that rain did something to the timing systems... Thanks for joining us and see you tomorrow for more Giro action.

Those GC results have yet to be confirmed - race organisers say there may have been an issue with transponders and so Wiggins would not have dropped any time. To be confirmed.

The provisional top ten shows Luca Paolini still in pink, with Henao up to second place and Uran dropping to fifth after the latter punctured 12km from the finish. Big news is that Bradley Wiggins is no longer in the top ten - so if that is confirmed, then the Sky leader must have lost contact with the pack for a second time in as many days.

Angel Vicioso (Katusha) was second and Paul Maertens (Blanco) third. Sergio Henao (Sky) took fourth.

John Degenkolb takes the win! The German youngster passes Canola in the last 100 metres to take a superb win.

It's John Degenkolb who is the rider chasing Canola...

It's Marco Canola who has a great chance now as he leads with half a click to go - but a lone rider from Argos looks to be closing in.

CRASH: The second rider in the pack - from Argos - goes down, leaving one Bardiani rider out ahead!

The roads still not completely dry so this could be dicey.

The Frenchman is caught and passed just after the 3km-to-go banner. The pack here is pretty large so we can expect a decent bunch sprint.

Dupont is really giving it his all, but the BMC train are setting a strong pace in the chase.

Pink jersey Luca Paolini is about 10 riders back. BMC have four on the front with a couple of Blancos.

Dupont has a small gap but it's only a matter of seconds. Seven of them, perhaps.

Another attack for Ag2R - it's Hubert Dupont.

Cadel Evans, in the red jersey, looks very strong on the front with a couple of BMC team-mates. A dark horse today?

Rabottini, a stage winner last year, is caught. Saxo lead the peloton. Perhaps Bennati is feeling good today? The Cavendish group is 45 seconds down.

Rabottini won't stay out for long because Saxo Bank are leading the chase. But Vini Fantini have numrous riders poised - it's easy to spot them with their bright yellow shirts.

It's a long, tough, slightly uphill drag to Matera - too much of an ask for Cavendish and Goss. Up front, Matteo Rabottini has made a move for Vini Fantini.

Cavendish and Goss are both in a second peloton some way down - neither rider will win today.

Vini and Bardiani counter attack. Numerous riders are making a move off the front as the three leaders are reeled in. Tom Danielson flats for Garmin and needs a wheel change. He is joined by Uran, who is still chasing back.
