UAE Team Emirates (Italy) - Press Release: American steals the show on climb to Sestola.
Joe Dombrowski tasted his first victory for UAE Team Emirates with an impressive win on stage 4 of the Giro D’Italia.
The 29-year old formed part of the early escape of 25 riders along with teammate Valerio Conti, which broke away in the early stages of the rainy transfer from Piacenza to Sestola (187km).
The group slowly built up a gap which reached a maximum of 7’ on the peloton as the tough conditions and arduous terrain fractured the lead group.
With the final climb coming at 6km to go, Dombrowski emerged in a select bunch of surviving climbers before going clear solo with only Alessandro De Marchi (Israel Start Up Nation) able to stay within reach of the American.
Stage 4 results:
- Joe Dombrowski (UAE Team Emirates) 4:58:38
- Alessandro De Marchi (Israel Start Up Nation) +13’’
- Filippo Fiorelli (Bardiani-CSF) +27’’
General Classification after stage 4:
- Alessandro De Marchi (Israel Start Up Nation) 13:50:44
- Joe Dombrowski (UAE Team Emirates) +22’’
- Louis Vervaeke (Alpecin-Fenix) +42’’
