Who won the fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia and the updated ranking

Lecce, May 13, 2025 – The fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia 2025 it ends with a sprint that speaks Dutch: a Lecce vince Casper Van Uden before Olav Kooij e Maikel Zijlaard, followed by a Mads pedersen who keeps the pink jersey despite being involved in two crashes. The day is complicated for the whole Lidl Trek, as he also experiences Julius Ciccone, who in turn first ended up on the asphalt and then grounded by a mechanical problem before completing the chase. Among the big names in the general classification, he smiles instead Primois Roglic, which he puts in his pocket 2" of bonus thanks to the sprint in the intermediate sprint, with Isaac Del Toro to tear instead 4" of discount. The stage 5 will bring the caravan from Ceglie a Matera after 151 km moved despite the fact that there is only one GPM scheduled and, what's more, it is a fourth category one.

The chronicle of stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia 2025

 After the day of transfer from theAlbania, Giro d'Italia 2025 starts again from Alberobello (Madrestone) to then get to Lecce after 189 kmThe escapee of the day is only one and he is Francisco Munoz (Team Polti VisitMalta), who obviously passed first at the only GPM of the day, that of Putignano (900 meters with an average slope of 6% and maximum of 9%): the group sprint rewards Sylvain Moniquet (Cofidis) to the detriment of Lorenzo Fortunato (XDS Astana Team). Behind Munoz, the battle for the intermediate sprint starts in the peloton Polignano a Mare: surprisingly, the win Jensen Plowright (Alpecin-Deceuninck) on Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) e Mads pedersen (Lidl-Trek). The latter is involved in a fall that sees him end up on the ground Julius Ciccone (Lidl Trek), Romain Bardet (Team Picnic PostNL), Sergio Samitier (Movistar Team) e Nickolas Zukowski (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team). A Ostuni instead it is placed the KM Red Bull, where the big names in the general classification surprisingly sprint: Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) precedes Primois Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), with the first (actually second at the passage) pocketing 4" of discount and the second one who gets it 2". At 56 km from the finish line the action ends Munoz: the next sprint of the intermediate sprint of San Pancrazio Salentino sees Kooji beat Pedersen. The latter, together with Munoz, is involved in a fall in a roundabout, while ciccone has to deal with a mechanical problem: also Soren Kragh Andersen (Lidl-Trek) ends up on the asphalt. The situation is resolved before the final sprint that rewards Casper Van Uden (Team Picnic PostNL), good at beating the favourites of the day and taking advantage of a gap that had opened up before and which had been closed by Edward Affini (Visma-Lease a Bike).
