Ciao regazzi! Welcome to live coverage of stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia - an undulating 235km ride from Orbetello to Frascati which features one categorised climb, numerous bumps and hills, and a punchy uphill sprint finish ideal for a rider like Peter Sagan (who is unfortunately across the Atlantic on Tour of California duty).

16:45
The likes of Nibali, Majka, Formolo, Jungels, Zakarin, Chaves, Mollema and Geoghegan Hart all finished in that chasing group with Yates and Lopez and so limited their losses to Roglic to 16 seconds.
16:41
Today's unlikely top 10 after devastation tore through the peloton with 5km remaining.
16:40
Good news for British fans: Simon Yates came home in a chasing group only 18 seconds down alongside Miguel Angel Lopez. So those two riders limited their losses to Roglic.
16:38
Roglic finished in sixth just behind Senechal so he will extend his lead tonight. We're still waiting to see when Simon Yates and Vincenzo Nibali finished - it was immensely chaotic following that massive pile-up.
16:35
Tom Dumoulin crosses the line with five Sunweb team-mates and he crosses the line four minutes down. That crash happened outside the 3km zone and so he will lose all that time tonight - and probably his Giro chances, too.
0km
Poor Tom Dumoulin - he's haemorrhaging blood from his left knee and this may be his race over.
0km
The big winner today was Primoz Roglic who will extend his lead in the GC. Tom Dumoulin still has 1km to go and is being escorted by his Sunweb team-mate.
0km
Caleb Ewan ran out of road and took second place by a bike length. Diego Ulissi took third place a bit further back, with Pascal Ackermann in fourth.
0km
Victory for Richard Carapaz of Movistar!

Now Ewan chases...
0.5km
Carapaz launches first...
1km
Just eight riders now in front going under the flamme rouge. QuickStep only have Florian Senechal. Caleb Ewan appears to be there at the back with Ackermann.
1.5km
What gains Roglic will make today - quite out of the blue.
2km
Richard Carapaz is there so will re-gain the time he lost yesterday. Ackermann is there - the only sprinter.
3km
Just a dozen riders approaching this final climb in the main group - and UAE have three, including Diego Ulissi.
4km
Bora and Groupama are driving this leading group and they have a big gap over the chasers. Roglic appears to be the only big name GC rider who has made it here.
5km
Primoz Roglic is in a leading group of 20-odd riders. There have been huge splits following that crash and the likes of Nibali and Yates seem to have been caught out. Ans Tom Dumoulin, too, who appears to have gone down. He's bleeding badly from his left knee.
6.5km
BIG CRASH: A huge pile-up in the pack and it must have happened high up in the pack because there's a while host of Katusha riders there...
