Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek), the best young rider in the Giro d'Italia Donne after stage 3, is one of the few riders still within one minute of race leader Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar).
Realini and Marta Cavalli (FDJ-SUEZ) were the only two riders within chasing distance of Van Vleuten after she attacked on the Passo della Colla in the finale of stage 2 but opted not to chase for tactical reasons because her teammate Elisa Longo Borghini had followed the world champion's move.
