The fourth stage of the
Tour of Slovakia has had the same outcome as the previous three, with Soudal - Quick-Step continuing their domination in the sprint stages. Paul Magnier has won his fourth stage in a row out of a bunch sprint, increasing his lead even further and maintaining a firm hold in the race lead.
The stage from Vráble to Sládkovicovo was completely flat and didn't provide any difficulties for the sprinters. Soudal - Quick-Step controlled the race and the peloton was able to reel the breakaway in with just a few kilometers to go, but the scenario in the finale replicated that of the first three days.
Out of the wheel of Dries van Gestel, Paul Magnier sprinted to victory once again with utter dominance. The Frenchman remains completely unbeatable and this time around he outsprinted Lukas Kubis and Milan Menten to the line, with the Slovakia national champion coming second also for a fourth consecutive time.
