Day without shocks, despite the route with numerous ups and downs inviting for the attackers, in the fourth stage of the Giro d’Italia Under 23, from Pertusio to Borgomanero over 139 km. I arrive in compact ranks, sprint success for the Frenchman Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick Step) protagonist of an authoritative encore after having already imposed himself in the second half, Monday in Saint Vincent. The young Belgian (18 years old) Jarno Widar, of Lotto, remains in the pink jersey. As for the people from Bergamo, Nicolò Arrighetti tried to make his way in the crowded sprint, finishing 9th. Further back Alessandro Romele (53rd) and Simone Gualdi (69th)
And suitable for sprinters, it also appears therethe fifth stage, which will start on Thursday 13 June from Kilometro Rosso, the technology park on the outskirts of Bergamo, to end in Cremona after 138 km through the Lower Bergamo area, the Lodigiano area and the Cremasco area. From 10.30 preliminary operations at the Kilometro Rosso, the departure will be at 12.45. A stage that promises a spectacle, even if it is interlocutory for the purposes of the general classification: from this perspective, the key stages will now be those with an uphill finish, in Fossa and Zocca, scheduled for Friday and Saturday 14th and Saturday 15th June.
There is great anticipation in particular for the moves of Mbh Colpack Ballan, the Bergamo team already won the pink race three years ago with the Spaniard Juan Ayuso. This year it is moving slyly with two equally valuable points: the Bolognese Florian Kajamini and the Czech Pavel Novak who, at the moment, occupy the 7th and 8th position respectively in the general classification with a delay of just over a minute compared to Widar. In the team ranking Mbh Colpack Ballan is third, in the youth ranking Simone Gualdi is 8th.
