Ce vendredi 18 avril se terminait le 2e Giro d'Abruzzo avec une 4e étape indécise et débridée. Après deux grandes boucles autour de la montée de Sparazzano (3,7km à 4,9%), l'échappée a finalement eu raison du peloton, et c'est encore Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates XRG) qui s'est imposé pour la deuxième fois de la semaine en Italie. Déjà victorieux de la 2e étape, le Portugais a cette fois-ci devancé au sprint son dernier compagne de fuite, Sjoerd Bax (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team). C'est la troisième victoire de la formation UAE Team Emirates XRG en 4 étapes. Pas inquiété, l'Allemand Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Wanty) a conservé son avance et s'impose au classement général, succédant au palmarès à Alexey Lutsenko.

00:00he's made a big impression on this race which is great for a rider who normally does his work
00:12early on in stage races you don't actually see him do that much because often by the time we
00:17get live coverage of a race oliver has done his job already so a lot of his work is invisible
00:23evil two days ago winning looked something exceptional for you winning twice how good is it
00:32holy man i have no words like if yesterday you know two days ago i was in the clouds
00:39i cannot say what i'm feeling right now uh it was not supposed to be like this yeah we were supposed
00:45to win the breakaway with me or rune or julius i ended up to be in a strong breakaway i have to
00:51give kudos to the guys in the breakaway with me because they mostly collaborate until the end
00:58and yeah in the end uh i had three ex teammates with me joel george and box they were my ex teammates i
01:05know them pretty well and when box went on the descent i knew i had to close immediately because
01:11box if you give him some meters he goes away and they never come back so i knew i had to close on
01:17him right away and yeah once i close to him we we agree and collaborate until the end and yeah and
01:22was about to the sprint i know i have a good kick and yeah i'm i'm speechless i'm speechless thank you
01:29for the team to give me this opportunity making the breakaway was it only for the stage win or did you
01:35have an id also for the gc for pablo torres yeah i mean obviously we know pablo was third and it would
01:43be really difficult to move on on gc because everybody will control him and yeah who knows
01:49i was in the breakaway in front obviously something happened behind and we could we were in a situation
01:54where we could win gc i immediately stopped stop let's say my race and help pablo but yeah in the end
02:01nobody could drop anybody behind as i heard in the radio and yeah then my director told me go for the
02:07victory you are you are looking the strongest and yeah in these days in nowadays it's so hard to win
02:14a bike race i was like six seven years saying oh my god i wish i win one day some bike racing seeing
02:20all the other guys with hands in the air and in four days i do twice is amazing very well done thank you
02:30thank you
