'It's a shame it had to end like this' - Giro d'Italia stage 6 finale affected by protestors

Enzo Paleni and Taco van der Hoorn in the breakaway on stage five of the Giro d'Italia.

A small protest in the closing kilometres of stage 6 of the Giro d'Italia on Thursday affected the race, forcing the breakaway to slow.

Two protestors, whose motives are unknown, held up tape in front of Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché-Wanty) and Enzo Paleni (Groupama-FDJ) inside 4km to go of stage 6 in Naples, with the former forced to break, and the latter swerving. Shortly after, the cycling duo were caught by the peloton.
