Annalisa Cucinotta nie zmarnowała pracy koleżanek z grupy Ale – Cipollini i sięgnęła po zwycięstwo na czwartym etapie Giro Rosa.
Czwarty etap Giro d’Italia Internazionale Femminile to ostatni łatwiejszy odcinek przed wjazdem w góry. Niecałe 100 kilometrów z Pioltello do Pozzo d’Adda było pozbawione większych trudności i z profilu można było spodziewać się walki sprinterek.
Dojeżdżając do rund w Pozzo d’Adda na czele mieliśmy cztery zawodniczki: Lizzie Williams (Orica-AIS), SilviaValsecchi (BePink – LaClassica), Mieke Kroeger (Velocio-SRAM) i Valentina Bastianelli (Inpa Sottoli Giusfredi). Ich przewaga nad peletonem sięgnęła nawet 2 minut i 35 sekund, ale przy pierwszym przyjeździe przez linię mety różnica wynosiła już tylko minutę i 40 sekund.
Ostatecznie wszystko się połączyło i 22 kilometry przed metą peleton jechał razem. Żadna z zawodniczek nie podejmowała się próby ataku, a mocne tempo dyktowały grupy Ale – Cipollini, Boels – Dolmans i Wiggle – Honda. W finałowym sprincie pracę swoich koleżanek wykorzystała Annalisa Cucinotta (Ale – Cipollini). Druga była Marta Bastianelli (Aromitalia – Vaiana), a podium uzupełniła Elena Cecchini (Lotto – Soudal Ladies).
