Giro d'Italia stage 4 Live – The race arrives in Italy with a day for the sprinters
- After three mountainous stages in Albania starting Friday, Giro d'Italia is on a rest day Monday before Stage 4 begins in Puglia, Italy.
- Organizers scheduled an earlier rest day due to the time-consuming transfer of riders, teams, and equipment from Tirana to Puglia by air or ferry.
- Stage 4 features a flat 189 km route from Alberobello to Lecce, favoring sprinters who struggled in earlier stages like Sam Bennett and Kaiden Groves.
- Mads Pedersen leads overall in the Maglia Rosa after winning Sunday’s stage and is joined by riders like Olav Kooij and Paul Magnier as sprint favorites.
- Stage 4’s flat terrain offers recovery opportunities for riders like Wout Van Aert, who needs rest after illness, and sets the scene for a sprinter-focused contest on Tuesday.
