World Tour teams play rock’n roll on the fourth stage of the Settimana Coppi e Bartali UCI 2.1 – Team Vorarlberg in the mix for a long time
Fourth stage of the Coppi e Bartali with a lot of ruckus from the World Tour teams – Team Vorarlberg in the race for a long time
Today, Friday, the fourth and second last stage with start and finish in Brisighella over 150 kilometers. The leading group was left alone today without Team Vorarlberg’s participation. But the Visma-Lease a Bike team controlled this group right into the finale. British rider Ben Tulett (Visma-Lease a Bike) secured victory in the elimination race. Six seconds behind him was the Spaniard Igor Arrieta (UAE-Emirates) and Mark Donovan (GBR / Q36.5 Pro Team).
The Team Vorarlberg pros finished in small groups in the midfield. However, they were also at the front for long stretches.
“If you think it can’t get any harder, you were proven wrong today. It’s unbelievable what the World Tour teams, especially the Visma team, did today. Towards the end of the race, our guys had to let go, but were able to perform well for the first 100 kilometers. It all fits and gives us a positive outlook for April!” Paul Renger – Sports Director
