Welcome to live coverage of stage four of the Giro d'Italia, which is actually taking place in Italy of all places. Following a rest day on the back of three opening stages in Denmark, the riders now have a 33.2km TTT in Verona to ease themselves back into the race.

The new top five of the GC: 1. Navardauskas, 2. Farrar +10, 3. Hunter +10, 4. Hesjedal +11, 5. Phinney +13.

Confirmation of the top five today: 1. Garmin 37:04, 2. Katusha +5, 3. Saxo Bank +22, 4. Astana +22, 5. Omega Pharma-QuickStep +24.

Ramunas Navardauskas moves into the lead in the GC, with Phinney dropping to fifth, 13 seconds down.

Yes, Phinney loses his pink jersey as BMC cross the line in 10th place, 31 seconds down on winners Garmin.

BMC still have eight riders together, including Taylor Phinney. But the American will surely lose the pink jersey today. They're approaching the finish in Verona now...

Garmin-Barracuda take five seconds off Katusha's time and will surely win the stage. We'll have to confirm if Navardauskas was one of the six who crossed the line together.

Navardauskas is suffering: he's a few bike lengths off his Garmin team-mates. He needs to stay there if he wants the pink. They're approaching the finish...

GreenEdge cross the line 20 seconds behind Katusha in 5th place. What a ride from the Russian-based team - it looks like they will hold everyone off with the exception of Garmin. Rodriguez will be chuffed with that one.

Garmin have eight riders after shedding Rasmussen. The man who could well be in pink, Navardauskas, is on the back - the Lithuanian youngster seems to be struggling a bit.

The RadioShack Nissan team of Frank Schleck cross the line to set the 6th best time, 23 seconds down on Katusha. That's pretty respectable.

Orica-GreenEdge are shedding riders, including Jack Bobridge.

Team Sky were 23 seconds down at the second check, way down in 10th place. They're approaching the finish now, but it will be no pink for Thomas. They set the sixth fastest time, 25 seconds behind Katusha.

Astana cross the finish line to tie Saxo for second, 17 seconds down on Katusha.

CLOSE SHAVE: Phinney rides off the road and across a grass verge. Some how he manages to stay up despite the slope down to a vineyard. But he has long grass in his pedals and spokes, plus his team is all over the place.

Taylor Phinney is struggling to keep with his BMC team-mates. He will surely lose the pink jersey tonight. Geraint Thomas is just 9 seconds down in the GC, but Sky were 3 seconds down on BMC at the first check. Navardauskas is the man to watch for Garmin - he's 18 seconds down on the GC.

BMC set the fifth best time at the first check, 11 seconds down on Garmin. So, the top five now that all the teams are through the first check is as follows: 1. Garmin 9:56, 2. Katusha +7, 3. Orica GreenEdge +7, 4. Astana +11, 5. BMC +11.

If Alex Rasmussen doesn't rejoin his Garmin team-mates then he'll have no chance at taking the pink jersey tonight. It would go to Ramunas Navardauskas - provided, of course, BMC don't put in a good TTT.

Katusha still lead at the finish. Saxo Bank are second, +17. Liquigas third, +21. Movistar fourth, +27. Lampre fifth, +29.

CLOSE SHAVE: GreenEdge's Sven Tuft almost goes down on a tight bend, but manages to control his skid. It's forced the Australian team to lose a bit of momentum though, and they'll have to regather.

Garmin are roaring along, but they're paying a big price: they're less than half way through, but have already lost two riders, including Dane Alex Rasmussen.
