Euskaraz irakurri: Van Vleutenek Giroko leads sendotu du, Niedermaierrek irabazitako stagen

The Movistar runner Annemiek van Vleuten is one more leader of the women’s Giro after concluding this Tuesday the fourth stage of the Italian race, of 105 kilometers, between Salassa and Ceres, in second place, behind the young German Antonia Niedermaier, from the Canyon team.

The “queen” stage of the Giro was propitious for the Movistar cyclist to give another “blow” of authority and so it was; In addition, one of the runners who could “discuss” the victory, the Italian Elisa Longo, winner yesterday, suffered a spectacular fall in the final stretch of the stage and although she reached the finish line, she did so greatly diminished and ran out of options.

The layout of the stage included the hardest portfirst class, in the first part of the race, with which Van Vleuten and others of the first classified were left alone.

Then Niedermaier attacked, to which they responded shortly after Van Vleuten and Longo, in the ascent to the port of Sant’Ignazio; the two went for the German, with very little margin to reach it before the finish line and that is why they took a risk on the descent.

Both had problems, but while the Dutch managed to correct her trajectory, the Italian went straight and suffered a serious fallalthough he managed to get back on the bike and finish the stage, although he is running out of options in the general classification, pending to see if he can start tomorrow.

Finally, Niedermaier achieved his first victory in the Giroafter three hours, 14 minutes and 2 seconds of travel, while Van Vleuten has been second with nine seconds behind.

The Australian from Worx, Niamh Fisher, was already third at 1:26, while Ane Santesteban (Jayco) finished in 14th place, at 3:19.
