Sütterlin in the breakaway group
After starting in Riemst, Belgium, the pros had to cover 191,4 kilometers on the Binck Bank Tour to Venray in the Netherlands. Four breakaways, including the German Jasha Sutterlin (Movistar) made resistance for a long time on the flat section. But with 4,5 kilometers to go, the sprinter teams caught up with the quartet and caused the expected mass sprint.
Hodeg wins before Bennett
After three stage wins on three flat stages, Sam Bennett (Bora – hansgrohe) as the clear top favourite, of course. But luck wasn't on his side today. A bit stuck, the Irish champion came forward too late. That's how he could Alvaro Hodeg (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) no longer capture. leader Tim Wellens (Lotto – Soudal) was able to defend his green jersey. Tomorrow he will be in demand in the time trial. The Swiss Marc Hirschi (Sunweb) is only four seconds behind.
