Ciao ragazzi! Welcome to live coverage of stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia - a massive (and yet not the longest) 238km schlep from Cassino to San Giovanni Rotondo.

And we'll leave you with this GIF of Fausto Masnada's boss Gianni 'The Silver Fox' Savio running to see his man on the podium. What a legend!

And here's today's entirely new-look top 10 with Conti dethroning Roglic, who is now in 11th place at 5'24".

Reminder of today's top 10 in the stage...

Grande Fausto!

The peloton come home 7'17" down on Fausto Masnada, the winner. So Conti will have five minutes or so as race leader. What a day for him.

Here come the peloton, being led by Primoz Roglic's Jumbo-Visma team, and it's going to be all change in the top 10 tonight after that breakaway going the distance.

Giovanni Carboni (Bardiani-CSF) took fifth place and he'll be the new white jersey at the expense of Miguel Angel Lopez, who is still riding seven minutes back in the peloton with the pink jersey and all the rest.

Sam Oomen comes in with the other chasers and the Dutchman will zip up the standings tonight, which will be a boon for his beleaguered Sunweb team after the withdrawal of Tom Dumoulin yesterday and Rob Power today.

Masnada took an easy win there ahead of Valerio Conti of UAE Team Emirates, who sat up towards the end in the knowledge that he is the new maglia rosa. It's Jose Rojas who takes the sprint for third place ahead of Ruben Plaza 38 seconds down.

Victory for Fausto Masnada of Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec!

Under the flamme rouge for our two Italian wins - and this could be Androni Giacattoli's first Giro win since 2012.

No changes in the lead so it's looking increasingly assured for the two leaders - although Plaza has just attacked from the trio behind in pursuit of the stage win he needs to complete his grand slam.

The sun is finally out as this stage draws to an exciting finale. Behind, Serry has dropped the second chasing group - but surely it's too much, too late.

This is a really fast finish - and could have been very hectic had the race been together. As it is, it looks like only a catastrophe will deny Masnada the win and Conti the maglia rosa.

That heart-in-mouth moment from earlier...

It does look like there's an agreement between the two leaders - with Conti happy to take as much time and the pink jersey, and Masnada the stage win.

The three chasers have not given up yet and still trail the leaders by 30 seconds. If Conti is guaranteed the pink jersey then Carboni is also in line to take the white jersey. So it's going to be an Italian bonanza today.
