"Ecuador's Jhonatan Narvaez (UAE Team Emirates XRG) powered to the line, claiming victory on stage four of the Giro d'Italia, outpacing Orluis Aular, with home rider Giulio Ciccone taking over the leader's pink jersey after crossing the line in third."
"The 138km ride from Catanzaro to Cosenza only kicked into gear when the stage reached the foot of the long climb to Cozzo Tunno, 80km into the day, and the peloton was broken up, leaving a reduced bunch of 40 riders to fight for the stage."
"The four bonus seconds Ciccone picked up for finishing third was enough to lift him into the overall lead, four seconds ahead of Jan Christen, Florian Stork and Egan Bernal."
"Wednesday's fifth stage could shake up the general classification standings. It features nearly 4,000 meters of climbing and hardly any flat sections on the 203km route from Praia a Mare to Potenza."
Jhonatan Narvaez won stage four of the Giro d'Italia, riding from behind to outpace Orluis Aular. Giulio Ciccone crossed the line in third and took over the leader’s pink jersey. The stage followed the race’s return to Italy after the first three stages in Bulgaria, creating an early general classification shakeup. The 138km route from Catanzaro to Cosenza became decisive when the climb to Cozzo Tunno began about 80km into the day. The peloton split, leaving a reduced group of about 40 riders. Ciccone’s four bonus seconds for third moved him into the overall lead by four seconds over Jan Christen, Florian Stork, and Egan Bernal. Stage five includes nearly 4,000 meters of climbing on a 203km route from Praia a Mare to Potenza.
