LIVORNO, Italy, May 10 (Reuters) - The Leopard Trek team led the peloton across the finish line on a neutralised stage four of the Giro d'Italia on Tuesday as the race paid homage to Belgian Wouter Weylandt, who died in a crash the previous day.
With the pace deliberately slow and the stage results not counting, team after team took over at the head of the pack during the 216 kilometre ride from Quarto dei Mille to Livorno.
Weylandt's eight remaining Leopard Trek team mates, accompanied by the Belgian's close friend Tyler Farrar of the United States, moved to the front of the bunch with four kilometres to go and crossed the finish line together.
David Millar will remain race leader when competition proper is set to get underway again on Wednesday's fifth stage.
The Giro finishes on May 29 in Milan.
