STAGE 4
After the start, 3 riders went off...  V.Iglinskiy,  J.J.Lobato and
 R.Förster..... with 160kms to go, 3 more riders joined them...
 P.Ligthart is the most known from them...
115kms... before  K.Carlström attack, we had already tryed
with  P.Deignan but without success...
Only climb of the day, Ligthart attacked and takes max pts, Carlström gets 2pts and equalizes Evans with 33pts each... 8´10"gap to peloton...stage winner might come from this break today...
20kms to go... K.Carlström is done for today... now we have only
R.Förster at the front... 6´18"gap to peloton...
10kms ... Iglinskiy and Ligthart lead with "52 to Förster.... our veteran sprinter got rid of the others in the break...
8kms.... with one powerfull attack,  P.Velits surprises all in peloton....no one responds.... he quickly gets 45" gap....looking good...
Last km.... R.Förster can´t win today but he will finish 3rd... good stage...
At the front, V.Iglinskiy beats one tired P.Ligthart... he attacked breakaway 4 times during the stage, now he pays that effort...
P.Velits enters last km with a small but good gap over peloton....... last breakaway riders in reach... can he manage to catch them?...
... he can... some sprinters too but peloton is few seconds behind.... at least in our watch were...
STAGE RESULT
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
Because race director(s) decided to give peloton same time, there are no changes in GC(top10)..
