Sports : Démare takes Giro stage; crash blamed on helicopter gust

French rider Arnaud Demare won the first mass sprint of this year's Giro d'Italia in a three-way photo finish on Tuesday, and Portuguese rider Joao Almeida added a couple of seconds to his overall lead in the fourth stage. The finishing straight was positioned alongside the coast and Vini Zabu teammates Luca Wackermann and Etienne van Empel crashed hard when wind believed to be coming from the sea blew a barrier across the road. Van Empel reported only cuts to his hands.
