Ciao! and welcome to live coverage of stage five of the Giro d'Italia, a rolling 233km ride from Praia a Mare to Benevento, a hilltop town around 50km east of Naples. Some say it'll be a sprint, others a breakaway, while many envision a similar script to yesterday...

Yesterday, Italy's Diego Ulissi of Lampre-Merida won a lumpy stage four of the Giro d'Italia on the Mediterranean coast ahead of Dutchman Tom Dumoulin, who moved back into the race lead. After some expert pacing by his Italian team-mate Valerio Conti, Ulissi rode clear of a group of 12 riders on a stinging ramp outside the Calabrian coastal town of Praia a Mare before holding off a select chasing group of race favourites to secure the fifth Giro d'Italia scalp of his career in the 200km stage from Catanzaro.
