Preview. Every single day the overall classification is played out at the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, and stage 4 will be another opportunity for the tables to be turned.
Stage 4 is perhaps the toughest of the race with over 3200 meters of climbing. Earlier in the day the peloton will race through a 3.5-kilometer ascent at 10%, however the differences and attacks will most likely only happen later in the day in the final explosive loop.
The riders have a 2.3km climb at 6.5%, then a 2Km at 9.2% before a short final loop which has the riders climb twice a 1.8Km climb at 8.3%, very shortly before the finish in Fiorano Modenese.
Estimated start time for Settimana Internazionale Stage 4: 11:35 - 16:00CET

** Domenico Pozzovivo, Mark Padun, Sean Quinn
* Felix Engelhardt, Natnael Tesfatsion, Milan Vader, Leo Hayter, James Shaw, Ben Zwiehoff
Pick: Felix Engelhardt
Another trademark Ben Healy Breakaway. 🏆 Two podium spots locked in for us as Ben Healy wins the stage and Mark Padun takes 3rd. Ben and Mark were up with a 24 second gap with 5 km to go but Ben held on for a strong finish to secure the win. Fantastic work team! 💕
