Exactly one year ago, sprinter Danilo Napolitano took the first of seven season wins in Finale Emilia, which saw him enjoy a high-profile transfer from LPR to Lampre-Fondital by the year's end. Today, the 25 year-old repeated his success in the same race and the same place, outsprinting Australian Brett Lancaster (Ceramica Panaria Navigare) and Brazilian Murilo Fischer (Naturino Sapore di Mare) to start what may be another successful season for his new employer.

Not surprisingly, with a large field sprint to end the 184,4 kilometre-long day, Napolitano's team-mate and overnight leader Damiano Cunego maintained his slim two second lead over Liquigas' Vincenzo Nibali, with Mario Aerts (Davitamon-Lotto) in third overall going into the fifth and final day, a 163,6km leg from Castellarano to Sassuolo.

Today's stage, held on an entirely flat parcours, saw only a tentative breakaway attempt. After the initial circuit of Carpi ended at km 44, Belgian Olivier Kaisen (Davitamon Lotto) and Irish champion David O'Loughlin (Navigators Insurance) made their move, and within a short period, the duo gained their maximum advantage of 5'18. As the field neared Finale Emilia, however, and despite their best efforts, the Lampre-Fondital men ensured the pair's recapture 18 kilometres from the finish.

Numerous attacks took place on a fast finishing circuit, all without success. With a bunch sprint an inevitable conclusion, Lampre-Fondital set up their sprinter Danilo Napolitano, who repeated his stage victory in Finale Emilia on the very same day one year ago.
