Clara Emond (EF Education – Cannondale) has won Stage 4 of the Giro d’Italia Women, the 134km long Imola-Urbino. Soraya Paladin (Canyon//SRAM Racing) and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ – Suez) finished second and third respectively.
Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl – Trek) retains the Maglia Rosa.
Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Clara Emond said: “It’s my first win ever and it’s very special to achieve it here at the Giro. It feels supergood and I am proud of all the team work. This will help me to achieve more confidence, I was lacking it as I didn’t get any top results until now. I guess my career can change after today and I am looking forward to it”.
