GIRO. Already a very big meeting for the riders of the Tour of Italy with the ascent of Etna during the 4th stage. Profile and ranking.
After a sluggish start to the Giro in Hungary with a particularly long 3rd stage marked by the victory of Mark Cavendish and already a rest day in order to make a transfer between Hungary and Italy, the serious things begin this Tuesday with a 4th very difficult stage which ends at the top of the mythical Etna. Before the final ascent, the riders of this Tour of Italy will start from Avola and will be treated to a hilly course, ideal for starting a breakaway.
Pink jersey from the start, the Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel should not have the capacity to keep his tunic in a stage of pure climbing. “For Etna, Tuesday, I don’t know, I can’t see into the future, I don’t know more than you! Normally, it’s not possible” analyzed the grandson of Raymond Poulidor. Second overall after his timed victory, Simon Yates could be the new leader of this Giro on Wednesday even if we are also expecting riders like Almeida, Kelderman, Mollema, Carapaz, Bardet or even Guillaume Martin who is looking forward to Etna. “I think everyone will arrive very fresh at Etna, with the rest day tomorrow on top of it” (Monday Ed). I am in a hurry to be at this first important meeting for the climbers of this Giro. “
