Your Stage 4 winner, Elia VIVIANI (ITA/DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP) was happy to get a win after being shut out at the Giro d'Italia: “We were hoping it will come down to a bunch sprint and were keen on trying again after finishing second yesterday. The guys were absolutely perfect, helping me get over the final climbs, and I was confident in them, because I know we have the best lead-out in the world. We took the responsibility in the last kilometers and made sure we were near the front going into the descent, because this was very important, Michael put me in a perfect position and I could finish off the job. Today’s victory means a lot to me and makes me extremely happy”, Elia said after becoming the first reigning Italian Champion in over two decades to notch up at least nine wins in the iconic tricolore. | share this photo |

"I wanted to win this stage but it wasn't the day. The team did a perfect job, they pulled in the front almost all day and the stage was decided, as expected, in a fast bunch sprint. I did my best but today Viviani was the fastest. I feel well, my form is where it should be right now but it wasn't my day. Thanks to my third place and the sprint bonus, I keep the yellow and black jerseys." | share this photo |
