Lets end this race then, with a brief report from the dullest stage of the race i.e. the flat stage!

A 4 man breakaway included 18th overall Mauricio Ortega, along with Talbott, Stevenson and Allain


And the break is going to win. 15km to go, 3 minutes lead. Talbott attacks, Ortega counters


Ortega gets a gap as a result


And the Corsica International winner can now add Stage 4 of the Tour de Slovenie to his list of achievements in 2011.


Trusov wins the sprint for 5th


And Alarcon has therefore managed it, he has survived a final flat stage in the race as race leader, without crashing! Pretty major points haul here for IKEA.

Oh and Lopez Garcia loses the points jersey. The Petronas duo of Ortega and Van der Velde now share it.
