Narvaez wins Giro stage four as Ciccone takes leader's pink jersey

SPORTS 12.05.2026

Ecuadorian Jhonatan Narvaez sprinted to victory in the fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia on Tuesday with Italian Giulio Ciccone taking the race lead.

Text size:

Narvaez provided much-needed relief to UAE Team Emirates which has been decimated since the start of the race.

The Ecuadorian outsprinted a peloton from which all the main sprinters had been dropped on the long climb of Cozzo Tunno, halfway through the 138km stage that finished in Cosenza.

The previous wearer of the pink jersey, Uruguayan Thomas Silva, also cracked on the climb of more than 14 kilometres.

He relinquished the pink jersey to Lidl-Trek rider Ciccone, who finished third on the day, on the first stage in Italy after three days in Bulgaria.

On Wednesday, the hilly fifth stage will take the peloton from Praia a Mare to Potenza.
