Turner sprints to fourth as Giro resumes

Ben Turner produced a superb ride on stage four at the Giro d'Italia to sprint to fourth place in Cosenza.

The race resumed on Italian soil following an early rest day, with a reduced bunch sprint following a selective ascent of the Cozzo Tunno climb. 

Thymen Arensman worked his way into the lead peloton over the top and held on to finish safely in the bunch, retaining his GC foothold in the top five overall.

Egan Bernal became distanced with 45 kilometres to go, but would make his way back into the bunch on the run-in thanks to selfless work from Turner. That effort ensured Bernal holds fourth overall, just four seconds back on new race leader Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), with Arensman two seconds further back.

In the final kilometres, Turner moved himself into a strong position before sprinting to a top five. The stage was won by Jhonatan Narvaez (UAE Emirates - XRG).
