Giro D'Italia - 4th Stage - Jan Polanc First Up Mount Etna

in sports •  7 years ago 

Today's fourth stage of the Giro D'Italia welcomed the cyclists to Sicily. After three days on Sardinia they climbed first big hill today - Mount Etna.

I followed the last part of the climb live in this article: Giro D'Italia Live - 4th Stage - Jan Polanc Leading 14 Kilometers Before Finish. It was a fascinating display of resilience and grit by Slovenian rider Jan Polanc who broke away from the main group early into the stage. He managed to salvage his lead right to the finish.

Follow last nine minutes of the stage up the Etna with commentary of enthusiastic Italian commentators. They both cheered Jan Polanc across the finish line.

I was standing in front of the TV in the last minutes and practically pushing Jan Polanc up and across to the finish. I bet that half of Slovenia with its sports fans did the same :)
