[2] After unsuccessful solo breakaway attempts by Eugenia Bujak and Tayler Wiles, Lucy Kennedy launched an attack at 2.5 km (1.6 mi) to go.

Unaware of this, and with only a few meters left to the finish line, Kennedy thought she had won and started raising her arm in celebration.

In extremis, Vos sped passed her to the stage victory, leaving Kennedy with second place.

A three rider strong breakaway, consisting of Letizia Borghesi, Chiara Perini and Anouska Koster rode away from the peloton after 38 km (23.6 mi).

Koster was dropped, while Nadia Quagliotto attacked from the peloton to join the two other Italians at the front.

The most important is the general classification, which is calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage.
