Norway’s Andreas Leknessund took over the Belgian’s pink jersey with a 28-second lead. On the 175-kilometer fourth stage, Frenchman Aurélien Paret-Peintre took the day’s win ahead of Leknessund and Toms Skujins from Latvia.
None of the German professional cyclists around Lennard Kämna and Pascal Ackermann made it into the top ten riders. Alexander Wlassow from the German team Bora-hansgrohe was tenth. On the toughest stage so far between Venosa and Lago Laceno, a leading group of seven riders formed well before the finish, from which Leknessund and Paret-Peintre fought the final duel before the finish.
On Wednesday, the professional cyclists will start in the Campania region on the fifth stage between Atripalda and Salerno. The Tour of Italy ends on May 28th with the final stage in the capital Rome.
