From the 28th of August to the 1st of September, the Renewi Tour provides extra World Tour action. In Belgium and The Netherlands the peloton will tackle a five-day stage- race which will feature opportunities for the sprinters, time-trialists and classics specialists. We preview stage 4.

The fourth day of racing in profile is virtually the same as the previous day, but on the road it sees the peloton now in the Netherlands. The start of the stage takes place in Oostburg and in a criterium format almost, as the riders race a circuit several times with an intermediate sprint involved before crossing the border back to Belgium.

Stage 4: Oostburg - Aalter, 178.6 kilometers
Stage 4: Oostburg - Aalter, 178.6 kilometers

A perfectly flat and simple day on the menu, with the green kilometer coming with 19 kilometers to go before what is a difficult finale into Aalter.

Fast roads heading into town with some slight bends that make it nervous enough that riders need to be very well positioned the whole time. With 300 meters to go the riders go under a bridge and have a very sharp right-hand corner. The meters leading into this themselves are not straightforward and so there will be an immense fight for positioning up until this point. It will be crucial, because from the final corner to the finish line it will almost be an all-out sprint completely.
