Stage four finish

The Race: If the stage didn't end with a winning breakaway, it wasn't because no one tried to escape. Three times small groups clawed their way up the road, only to be rounded up by a peloton intent upon a sprint finish. The final break of three riders was caught with about four kilometers to go. Even then riders tried fliers, to no avail.

Stage winner Jonas Van Genechten came from a ways back to take his first-ever World Tour victory.

Petr Vakoc finished in the front group to preserve his GC lead.

Giant-Shimano sprinter Luka Mezgec, who crashed in stage one, will not start the hilly stage five on Thursday. He's going home to heal up from his injuries rather than suffer in the mountains. He may start the Eneco Tour on Monday.
