Federico Zurlo conquista un'esaltante vittoria nella quinta tappa del Tour of Japan. Percorso senza un metro di pianura, quello della quinta frazione, con partenza ed arrivo a Minami Shinsu. Dieci  giri, 123 chilometri di puro agonismo. L'arrivo è adatto a Federico Zurlo e la Giotti Victoria Palomar pilota al meglio il suo corridore: ai meno tre chilometri, il gruppo torna compatto ed è Kobayashi a supportare Zurlo fino a 300 metri dalla conclusione. Dopo è Federico a scegliere la ruota giusta, quella dell’olandese Kreder, vincitore della tappa di Mino, ad alzare le mani al cielo e a liberare il suo grido di gioia. Seconda posizione per l'olandese Kreder, terza per l'australiano White che ha preceduto il connazionale Hill, che rimane al comando della classifica generale.

In questo modo Federico Zurlo regala anche la prima vittoria “intercontinentale” alla Giotti Victoria Palomar e la prima vittoria da tecnico in terra nipponica per un raggiante Stefano Giuliani.
