Giro d'Italia contender Egan Bernal has thanked his Netcompany Ineos teammate Ben Turner for his work on Tuesday's fourth stage, adding that he would be "minutes down" in the general classification without the Briton's help on the road to Cosenza.
Bernal got into difficulty on the only major climb of the day, the second-category Cozzo Tunno, which peaked 42.5km from the end of the Giro's first stage back after the rest/transfer day.
