Letizia Borghesi won the fourth stage of the Eneco Tour, while Lieke Nooijen retained the overall lead with one stage remaining on Sunday.

The Italian, riding for AG Insurance–Soudal, beat Pfeiffer Georgi of Team Picnic PostNL on the cobbled climb to the top of the VAM-berg. Nooijen finished third and leads compatriot Femke Markus by 38 seconds. Borghesi is 39 seconds behind Nooijen after moving up the standings with her victory. [1]

The 114.1km stage ran from Hoogeveen to the summit finish, including seven laps of a 13.7km circuit. Maud Rijnbeek began the final lap about half a minute ahead of Nooijen and appeared poised for her first professional win, but the VolkerWessels rider was caught around 2.5km from the finish. [1]
