Race Recap
Paret-Peintre (ACT) wins stage 4
Aurélien Paret-Peintre (ACT) took the first mountain stage victory ahead of Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM) at Lago Laceno today.
“My main objective this year was the Giro, I just trained a lot for today, for these three weeks,” he said. "We knew today was a day for the breakaway, so it was an important day for the team because we came to take a stage win and for GC. It was a perfect day for me. The breakaway was super hard to make. After, until the finish was super hard, but I'm super happy.
“I know I'm faster than him (Leknessund), so we collaborate until the finish line. I think he takes the maglia rosa so everybody's happy, maybe.”
Remco Evenepoel (SOQ) has given up his maglia rosa to Leknessund.
“I obviously went for the stage and knew that the pink was possible,” he said. “I made one attack to drop Aurélien Paret-Peintre, but he came back on the descent, and my legs were hurting so much. It's super special to be in pink. It's like, that was the goal before the stage, but as everyone knows, it's hard. Cycling is not so easy. To actually make it is unbelievable."
