Cycling-Ulissi wins Giro stage four, Dumoulin grabs pink jersey (Reuters)
Diego Ulissi marked the Giro d’Italia’s homecoming with victory in stage four to Praia a Mare on Tuesday as Dutchman Tom Dumoulin took hold of the pink jersey. After three stages in the Netherlands, home fans were out in force to watch the peloton speed through the rolling Calabrian countryside and Lampre-Merida rider Ulissi rewarded them as he held on to take the 200km stage. Dumoulin led the chasing pack across the line, five seconds back, to replace Germany’s Marcel Kittel as the overall leader.
