Another great day for the JCL Team Ukyo on the roads of the Tour of Japan. Winning the fourth stage - starting and finishing in Shinshu Iida, 120.9 km - was Simone Raccani, who overcame the resistance of his breakaway companion Mark Stewart from Solution Tech-Vini Fantini. Third place went to Valerio Conti, with Alessandro Fancellu finishing eighth.

Raccani, a 24-year-old from Vicenza in his first year with the team led by Alberto Volpi, also conquered the leader's jersey in the general classification.
