We head back down south out of Scotland through the hilly Lake district, but despite some tough hills it is another day for the sprinters with a flat run in.
We go into Blackpool, which is possible to see across to the Isle of Man as once again this writer muses the possibility of a proper sprint match up between Kennaugh and Cavendish. SRAM seem determined though to get a good result out of these sprints too.
We get another break of five today to battle over the Lake district climbs for more KoM points.
The KoM results are as follows:
KoM 1: Teunissen - Gate - Ghdamsi
KoM 2: Teunissen - Gate - Hampton
KoM 3: Ghdamsi - Teunissen - Gate
Teunissen snatches the KoM overall lead and Gate moves forward into joint second. The sprint primes are irrelevant today with all the riders having previously lost time.
The usual suspects chase today, though rather than picture them the camaras focus on those that are falling on this fourth stage through Cumbria and Lanchshire.
Albert (Bpost) and Kadri (Vueling) are amoung the casualties. Then we get a major crash that involves Choaufi (Kenya) and Appleby (Halfords)
Into the sprint down Blackpools wide Boulevade, SRAM and AirBaltic do battle again ignoring Pederson's second flyer attempt.
A few different names are lurking in the wheels today with Bennett (Jaguar) alongside Kennaugh behind Hausslers' SRAM train. Drujon amd Wegmann (SRAM) are also there. Whilst Gavazzi (UPC) follows Briggs and Cav.
Haussler launches at around 1500m to go and again this puts Cav off completely with only Drujon, Kennaugh and Kreder (Swedbank) able to follow closely.
Kennaugh finds a decent groove and steadily catches the powerful Haussler, narrowly taking the win on the line.
He celebrates the win, perhaps making up for whats been a horrific tour of Britain for him so far.
Kreder just edges Haussler for second, he is another sprinter who is not the worst climber.
