Jasper Stuyven claimed the victory at the fourth stage of the Binck Bank Tour after a last kilometre attack.
The Trek-Segafredo rider lead the peloton through a tight corner with 1km to go, and managed to get a gap. Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott) won the sprint to finish second ahead of Zdenek Stybar (Quick-Step Floors) in third.
Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida) extended his lead by two seconds and he now heads the race by three seconds ahead of stage 5. Stefan Kung (BMC Racing) remains at 22 seconds and in third overall.
The BinckBank Tour continues tomorrow with a lumpy stage that could see the sprinters denied once again.
