Ivan Basso (Liquigas-Cannondale) won stage 4 of the Giro di Padania and took the overall lead at San Valentino di Brentonico. The Italian hit the front 7km from the summit of the climb and began to whittle down the leading group. The last to resist was Francesco Masciarelli (Astana), but he was dropped with 4.5km.

Basso won the stage with 52 seconds to spare over Italian champion Giovanni Visconti (Farnese Vini-Neri Sottoli).
