00:02Welcome to the 4th and middle stage of Giro Next Gen, Carta Gioveni Nazionale
00:06and welcome back to Matera, a unique city and UNESCO World Heritage Site
00:11with also a strong connection to cycling.
00:13The race out of Basilicata and into Puglio, towards Corato,
00:17to take a circuit featuring a double pass by the Castel del Monte,
00:21the only categorized climb of the day, to repeat twice
00:24before a fast run-in to the finish after a final descent.
00:27The leader's jerseys are the signature podium this morning in Matera
00:31with the pink jersey and the neutralized start in really hot weather conditions.
00:39Sadly, Liam O'Brien of Team Little Track Future Racing had to abandon the race
00:45as his little brother Shane tragically passed away yesterday.
00:49Flag is waved and the official start was given at 1.20.
00:53There were Hilly Moves, XTS Astana, Movistar and the Italian national team
00:59all keen to get out of the road.
01:02The intermediate sprint of the Gravina in Puglia, taken by Gossiurni
01:07with Pombo Tomas in 2nd position and down with Lewandzonski in 3rd position,
01:14Ovenz Parfell in 4th and Donati in 5th position.
01:18The circuit with 88.5km to go with Simone Zanini and the crash,
01:25also one of many today actually,
01:28with two riders of Wisma Lisbaic Devo team involved.
01:33As they pass through the finish line for the first time,
01:35there is a set-down Woody in the break,
01:37as well as Luca Fraticelli, Matteo Gialli, Moritz Maus and Pienerri Basset.
01:43Two laps to go, just under 40k lap with a climb in the middle to repeat twice.
01:48Mirko Bozzola, another good sprinter for Padovani,
01:51choosing to go on the attack together with Leonardo Vesco.
01:56The round of the race on top of the climb of Castel del Monte
02:00for the first time with Marco Martini winning the six points,
02:05Dodd taking the four points and Stjansen two points.
02:10Also the peloton passing through the KOM
02:13and a confirmation on the graphics
02:16with the points awarded on the KOM of the day.
02:22The Maglia Rosa, Jasper Schofs dropping back
02:26to speak with the race direction car
02:29in the front of the race,
02:31still with three men.
02:39And a small chasing group behind,
02:42around the 24th second.
02:50The bell that says there is one lap to go
02:54and the Maglia Rosa dropping back
02:57and changing the bike.
03:00Chasing group details
03:02with Bill, Greenlee, Edinger, Granberg and Maus.
03:0725.5k to go
03:09and the peloton really is super close
03:12to the chasing group
03:14as well as to the front of the race,
03:15only 30 seconds behind.
03:18Roughly 20k to go
03:19and the peloton is coming potentially all back together
03:22before getting to the top of Castel del Monte.
03:25And here is another crash
03:27with Federico Savino involved
03:29of Sordal Quickstep Divo team,
03:32struggling to get his chain back on.
03:37Matthew Dodd of Ineos Grenadiers
03:39goes off without the other two
03:41and takes the six points
03:42on top of the KOM.
03:44The peloton is travelling
03:46at a really high pace
03:48with 20 seconds behind,
03:50roughly,
03:51from the front of the race,
03:52Matthew Dodd.
03:54Matthew Dodd still in the lead,
03:56also with the confirmation
03:58that he now leads
04:00the Maglia Azzura classification.
04:02Another crash
04:03by another UAE team,
04:04Emir Egenzi,
04:05Davide Stella,
04:06possible due to a technical issue.
04:09and the peloton is
04:11about to absorb
04:13the British rider
04:14of team Ineos Grenadiers.
04:17Kilometres to go,
04:18the pace is really high.
04:20Another corner
04:21with also crashes
04:23in the background.
04:24But he's a rider
04:25that tries to do a late attack
04:27at 1k to go.
04:28Niccolò Pizzi
04:29of team Technipest
04:31that holds a couple of seconds

11:10really long time
11:12I sort of knew
11:13that the closer
11:14we
11:14the longer
11:15it went on
11:16the more likely
11:16the break was
11:17to go to the finish
11:18so we hit the first
11:20of the categorized climbs
11:21and
11:22I sort of just
11:23saw a moment
11:24and was like
11:24okay
11:25I go now
11:27caught the rider
11:28from Technipers

11:30and had
11:31Yes vs Jensen
11:32with me
11:33and we worked
11:34well together
11:35I think
11:36the gap was never
11:36bigger than
11:37about 50 seconds
11:38we were shown
11:39but it was holding
11:41and then
11:42sort of
11:43we came into
11:44this last climb
11:45and I could see
11:45the other two
11:46were suffering
11:49and I was just
11:50like
11:50okay
11:50I just have to
11:51get to the top
11:52as quickly as possible
11:54and then
11:55go from there
11:56because I knew
11:56I was pretty sure
11:58that if I could
11:59get to top
12:01alone
12:01I'd take the
12:02KOM jersey
12:02which is nice
12:03to have
12:03and also
12:04to try and win
12:05the stage
12:05but yeah
12:06it was pretty lonely
12:07on that long
12:09big road
12:10long
12:10straight road
12:11on the way back
12:12and yeah
12:13it was always
12:13going to be
12:13a tough ask
12:14sort of
12:15into that headwind
12:15and yeah
12:16on that road
12:17but it's worth
12:18a try
12:18and I dreamed
12:19for a moment
12:20but yeah
12:21it's always
12:21going to be tough
12:22but yeah
12:22it's nice to
12:24have the jersey
12:25to wear
12:26You have now
12:27the Maglia Azzurra
12:28is this something
12:29you want to
12:29try to keep
12:30in the second part
12:31of the year
12:32the toughest one
12:32with the climbs
12:33with the hardest stage
12:34Yeah
12:35I mean
12:35I kind of see
12:36how it goes

12:39there's quite a few
12:40KOM points tomorrow
12:42so I'll just see
12:43see where things go
12:44I think my targets

12:49yeah
12:49me and as a team
12:50our target
12:51remains to win a stage
12:52so I don't think
12:53that's changed
12:54but if the opportunity
12:56comes to try
12:56and defend this
12:57yeah of course
12:58it's a
12:59it's a
13:00leader's jersey
13:01and one of the biggest
13:01under 23 races

13:03if there's a chance
13:04I will go for it
13:05yeah
13:06we're here
13:07still with the
13:08Tricolore

13:20did in my life
13:20of course
13:21you know
13:22every corner
13:23was slipper
13:24the road
13:24was full of
13:25all
13:25also the finish line
13:26with the bumps
13:29it's better to make
13:32safe race
13:33you know
