On reaching Italy, the group stopped off at San Vigilio di Marebbe and then proceeded to Moena and Lake Como to reach Monza, where the riders were given a tour of the famous F1 circuit. The group then proceeded to Milan, where the participants received the hospitality of the Pirelli foundation. The night of the fourth stage was spent at Milan's Hotel Gallia Excelsior, and the next morning, after riding through Cremona and Brescello, the Tour reached Modena in time for lunch at Azienda Hombre.
