Results Deutschland Tour 2026 stage 4 - Paul Magnier wins final stage as Del Toro is caught in sight of the line but seals overall victory
CyclingSunday, 23 August 2026 at 16:17
Paul Magnier has won stage 4 of the Deutschland Tour, taking his first win in a race where he showed his best form from start to finish. The Soudal - Quick-Step rider managed to cross the line in first place, but it happened after a very narrow successful pursuit of race leader Isaac del Toro.
The breakaway of the day was made up of Miguel Heidemann, Lennart Voege, Ben Felix Jochum, Ian Kings, Ko Molenaar and Dominik Röber. The final day of the race was hilly, not as difficult as the previous day but with two laps in the finale including an ascent of 2.6 kilometers at 6.1%.
Isaac del Toro chases solo win
On the final lap, after the break was caught, Louis Barré launched an attack in the peloton, trying to pressure the overall leader. Isaac del Toro and Mathias Vacek responded to the move, and shortly after the Mexican himself attacked the race and went off the front by himself.
Vacek and Barré were caught with 6 kilometers to go but Del Toro remained isolated, heading into Heilbronn with the victory in sight. The UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider had virtually confirmed his overall win, but the stage win would escape his hands in the very final meters of the stage.
Del Toro was caught in sight of the line, already mid-sprint, with Paul Magnier bringing the peloton along. The Soudal - Quick-Step rider had the speed to close the gap and withstand Danny van Poppel and Tim Torn Teutenberg who came from behind.

- okei then we agree for the most part. But key riders and staff leaving is never a good sign. And the no money part is the most worrying to me along with this trend of key guys leaving to other teams. Lets hope it changes this off-season that would be awesome!miguel23-08-2026
- Spot on, and well said by Laura Meseguer. Watching that live was genuinely uncomfortable, no man or woman should have to endure sexist remarks like that. It’s also completely disrespectful to Tadej and Urška to trivialise their relationship with such bizarre, insulting insinuations. Show some respect.anonymouscyclist23-08-2026
- they are # 3. Visma has won more races than Red Bull. They have won a GT, but Red Bull hasn’t. They have won a monument, but Red Bull hasn’t. They have won 2 one week WorldTour races, Red Bull has won zero. Visma has 14 winners, Red Bull 11. Red Bull is almost totally reliant on Remco for its points. They bought won rider who won prolifically early in the season, they are not a better team. I never said Visma was at peak form. I said they would be the envy of the peloton less UAE. I think that is true. And these results are not indicative of a team collapsing. As for staff leaving, Red Bull lost Ralf Aldag and Dan Lorang. Staff comes and goes. using your measurement for staff leaving is irrelevant. If you build a good company, your leaders get poached. The staff leaving is actually a sign of Visma success.mij23-08-2026
