Barbara Guarischi (SD Worx-Protime) won stage 4 of the Simac Ladies Tour, winning the sprint of a 14-rider breakaway against Ally Wollaston (AG Insurance-Soudal), with Maria Giulia Confalonieri (Uno-X Mobility) taking third place.
Teniel Campbell (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) had attacked with 71km to go in the 118.2km stage and was joined by Julia Borgström (AG Insurance-Soudal). 48km from the finish, a strong group of 12 riders bridged up to them, and this new front group quickly increased its advantage.
Crossing the finish line with 40km to go, they were almost two minutes ahead, and although SD Worx-Protime worked hard to close the gap, the breakaway made it to the finish with 36 seconds to spare, and Guarischi won the sprint.
Franzi Koch (DSM-Firmenich PostNL) was 31 seconds behind Zoe Bäckstedt (Canyon-SRAM) going into the stage and is the new overall leader.
