It was a very special and emotional day for Andreas Leknessund (Team DSM) who clinched the maglia rosa in style with a gutsy ride to finish second on Stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia on Tuesday. The 23-year-old rider may have missed out on the stage win to Aurelien Paret-Peintre (AG2R Citroen) in a thrilling finish, but he became the first Norwegian in 42 years to claim the Giro's famous pink jersey. Ad As he reached the finish and crouched down on the ground, he was embraced by members of his team and the man from Tromso could no longer contain his emotions after what has been a tough time for him away from cycling.
