The three-time world champion is still waiting for the victory, which he has been missing since last July. Sagan finished second to Giro in the second stage, when he was not enough in the sprint of the group leader to the home team of Diego Ulissi. On the other hand, Démare has already won eleventh place this season. “I think it was a millimeter. I was lucky,” Démare said after his second stage triumph on Giru in his career.
In the last Sicilian stage from Catania to Villafranca Tirrena, the pink jersey of the leading rider was watched by the Portuguese Joao Almeida. Thanks to bonuses, he gained a two-second lead over Jonathan Caiced’s second Ecuador.
The winner of the Tour de France resigned from Gira! He broke his pelvis as he fell
The Czech cyclist Josef Černý, who suffered a big loss on Etna on Monday, finished 14th in the main group this time at the same time as the winner.

One of the favorites of the race, Brit Geraint Thomas, did not enter the fourth stage. The previous year’s Tour de France winner had a severe fall on Monday, and today’s examination revealed that he suffered a pelvic fracture.
Even today’s stage was not without carom. In the long finish line, two riders of the second division Vini Zabú-KTM stable, the Italian Luca Wackermann and the Dutchman Etienne van Empel, ended up on the ground, with whom the low-flying helicopter brought a protective barrier into the path. Wackermann was taken to hospital with a suspected fracture of the cheekbone, and Van Empel escaped the accident with injured fingers.

On Wednesday, the peloton will move to Calabria, and on the 225-kilometer-long route from Mileta to Camigliatello Silano, the mountaineers will once again have the floor.
