2nd Matteo MOSCHETTI (ITA/TREK - SEGAFREDO) + 2s and 3rd race leader Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA) who extended his overall lead to 21s. Primoz Roglic, said: “I felt the heat today but I was always well protected from the wind by my teammates. Caleb Ewan was the strongest today. He won easily. I just wanted to go as fast as possible to the finish. Every day can be decisive, so I'll work on keeping the jersey with the team tomorrow before I make plans for Friday's uphill finish.” | share this photo |

This wasn't the kind of sprint finish that Stage 2 winner Fernando Gaviria prefers nor his Team Emirates teammate Alexander Kristoff, who was well-placed at the foot of the climb, but struggled in a big gear and was forced to walk to the finish after snapping his chainstay in half damaged originally from the crash with 7 km to go... | share this photo |

Your Stage 4 winner, Caleb EWAN (AUS/LOTTO SOUDAL): “My advantage over the other sprinters today is that their weight is about 80kg and I'm only 67, so my power-to-weight ratio is better for such a climb at 17%. I knew I had to start the climb no further than fifth or sixth position. Kristoff started and once I found the right gear I could pass him. Before that, when the last crash happened, I was already at the front. Today's win is a good sign ahead of Milan-Sanremo which is my main goal of the first part of the year.” | share this photo |
