Giro stage 4: Ulissi wins, Dumoulin back in pink

A consummate opportunist, Diego Ulissi infiltrated a late breakaway, attacked the hard final climb, 10 kilometers from the finish, and won the Giro’s stage 4 on Tuesday. Lampre – Merida’s Italian leader rolled into Praia a Mare alone to collect his fifth career Giro stage win. Close behind, Giant – Alpecin’s Tom Dumoulin attacked the chase to reclaim the GC lead on the race’s first day in Italy.

“It’s what we worked for. It was a hard final and we wanted to make the race hard already on the second climb of the day. We dropped Marcel Kittel there,” said Dumoulin, speaking of the Etixx – Quick-Step sprinter who had taken the pink jersey from him two days prior.

“I’m really happy because the whole team did a great job,” Ulissi, 26, said. “Valerio Conti was exceptional … I gave it everything on the climb and was worried I’d be caught on the descent but I hung on. When I looked around with 10 metres to go, I realized I’d got it. It’s a special moment.”

Four riders were in the early attack Tuesday: Nicola Boem (Bardiani – CSF), Joey Rosskopf (BMC Racing), Matej Mohoric (Lampre – Merida, and Matthias Brandle (IAM Cycling).

The break began roughly 10km into the stage. By kilometer 14, the four riders held a gap of about three minutes, which held until around 50km to go, when the peloton brought back the escape.

On the climb to San Pietro, Stefano Pirazzi (Bardiani – CSF), and Damiano Cunego (Nippo – Vini Fantini) attacked to collect KOM points on the category 3 ascent. The two Italians earned a lead of more than one minute, provoking the peloton, which was led by Astana.

Two Ag2r La Mondiale riders, Guillaume Bonnafond and Axel Domont, snuck off the front to chase.

Inside of the final 30 kilometers, Domont caught Pirazzi and Cunego. They were soon joined by five others: Alessandro De Marchi (BMC), Sebastian Henao (Sky), Tim Wellens (Lotto – Soudal), Pieter Serry (Etixx – Quick Step), and Valerio Conti (Lampre – Merida). With the peloton merely seconds behind, De Marchi and Conti accelerated again. The catch seemed imminent, with Movistar driving the pace behind, but the attackers stretched their advantage and were soon joined by nine others.

On the hilly run to the finish, race leader Marcel Kittel was dropped. Movistar and Astana shared the work at the front of the peloton with 15 kilometers to go.

With 10 kilometers to go, the large attack had a 34-second gap, at the base of the Via del Fortino climb, a short kicker averaging 7.7 percent and maxing out at 18 percent. The front group was soon whittled down to six men. Over the top, Ulissi made his winning move.

Behind, the peloton was shattered by the steep climb and the remaining attackers were caught.

With five kilometers to go, Ulissi had a 15-second lead on a select group of chasers. Two riders from Bardiani rode tempo on the front, bringing the Italian’s lead down to about 10 seconds with 3km to go.

As they approached the final two kilometers, Astana’s Michele Scarponi tried a dummy attack, drawing out Etixx’s Bob Jungels to chase. With one kilometer left, Ulissi was in sight but not close enough to catch.

Ulissi collected the stage win alone while Dumoulin rode off the front, followed by Steven Kruijswijk, to reclaim the pink jersey he wore over the weekend. Asked whether he’d keep the leader’s jersey long-term, Dumoulin demurred: “I don’t think so,” It would be very difficult for me in the high mountains … There it would be minutes, here it’s only seconds.”

On Wednesday, the peloton faces the race’s second-longest stage, 233km from Praia a Mare to Benevento in stage 5.
