Stage 4a - April 29: Arrone - Amelia, 95.7 km

Australian team report

By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 coach

Stage 4 was split with a 95km morning stage and a 15km time trial in the afternoon. The morning stage was over undulating terrain and raced hard. There was light rain as the bunch entered the finish area. Unfortunately Peter Dawson and Ashley Humbert were involved in a crash in the last corner while well placed with 200 metres to go. Another rider tried to come inside in the corner and slipped in the wet conditions. Along with a missed opportunity for another win, this crash cost Peter his lead in the points competition. Italy's Rigotto won the stage.
