Ineos Grenadiers endured a day of contrasts at Tirreno-Adriatico on Thursday, with Tom Pidcock crashing before he had a chance to fight for the stage victory, Filippo Ganna losing the race lead to Leonard Kemna but with Tao Geoghegan Hart finishing fifth after looking good in the surge on the uphill finish to Tortoreto.

Pidcock had a lot of road rash and perhaps faced a painful night, but he finished stage 4 and quickly reassured everyone that he was not injured.
