Oscar Freire (Rabobank) took over the outright lead in Tirenno-Adriatico after winning the third stage between Maddaloni and Isernia. The Spaniard was expertly piloted to the line by his teammate Michael Boogerd, who also took third in the stage behind Freire and Vladimir Duma (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago). Overnight leader Alessandro Petacchi (Fassa Bortolo) was dropped during the stage and finished nine minutes down, while Mario Cipollini (Domina Vacanze) finished further back at 12 minutes.

The stage started at 10:43am with a minute's silence in memory of the victims of the train bombings in Madrid, which killed nearly 200 people. The peloton was subdued as it rolled along at 30.5 km/h for the first three hours, the only noteworthy happenings being Igor Astarloa taking the sprint points at Guardia Sanframondi (km 36.7) and Giovanni Lombardi's crash (without consequence) at km 56.

Paolo Bettini (Quick.Step-Davitamon) eventually made the first attack on the climb of Valico del Macerone (km 123.7). He was joined by Janek Tombak, but the pair were caught by a counter-attack from Rolf Aldag (T-Mobile). Aldag crossed the summit of the climb in first place, ahead of Simone Masciarelli (Vini Caldirola), Rubens Bertogliati (Saunier Duval), Angel Vicioso (Liberty Seguros) and the rest of the peloton. Many riders, including Petacchi and Cipollini, were dropped on this climb and didn't see the front group again.

After four hours, the average speed had lifted to 31.9 km/h, and the race was on in earnest. Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) made a solo move and was chased by a group of 29 riders, including Bettini, Astarloa and Di Luca. Boogerd took the intermediate sprint at Cerro al Volturno (km 142.7), 30 seconds ahead of Vicioso, Rodriguez, and O'Grady. The main part of the peloton was 1'05 back at this stage.

Boogerd was caught by the front group, which numbered 30 riders: Elmiger, Tiralongo, Montgomery, Bettini, Freire, Celestino, Bingen Fernandez, Caruso, Camenzind, Borghi, M. Zberg, Belli, Wesemann, Popovych, Farazijn, Tonkov, Boogerd, Strauss, Flecha, Rodriguez, Barbero, Tschopp, Gontchar, Figueras, Klier, Di Luca, Vicioso, O’Grady, Astarloa and Lobato. Behind them, the peloton driven by Fassa Bortolo was still chasing hard.

At 15 kilometres to go, the main bunch was only 29 seconds behind the leaders, and a flurry of attacks saw a group of 11 riders escape: Bettini, Caruso, Camenzind, Belli, Figueras, Popovych, Bingen Fernandez, M. Zberg, Borghi and Klier. This group had 31 seconds lead over the peloton with 10 km to go, but the chase was hard behind them. Paolo Bettini didn't want to wait around, and attacked with Figueras, Zberg and Camenzind, but the four were caught by the other breakaways with 7 km to go. The peloton was hovering at 28 seconds, and finally closed the gap with 3 km to go. Spezialetti tried one last attack, but it failed and it was the turn of Oscar Freire to win the bunch sprint ahead of Duma and Boogerd, taking the leader's jersey in the process.
