CHIETI, Italy - Defending champion Michele Scarponi won the fourth stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico on Saturday and also took the overall lead in the weeklong race.

Scarponi broke away from a small group of riders on a steep climb about four kilometres from the finish and completed the hilly 243-kilometre route from San Gemini to Chieti in six hours 23 minutes 47 seconds.

Benoit Vaugrenard of France was second, 14 seconds behind, and Leonardo Bertagnolli of Italy finished third.

Scarponi, an Italian with the Androni Giocattoli team, holds an 18-second lead over Vaugrenard in the overall standings.
