Malia celebrates makes it look very very easy absolutely smokes it Tim Malia simply had too much fire power for the rest of the field in yesterday’s Sprint the Belgian is likely to be the man to beat again in today’s fourth stage between hegra and Mariah especially in the absence of Dylan hovan

A non-starter this morning due to illness Malia is also eyeing up the red jersey and potential victory in the points classification to focus on uh on the stage is the the first thing if you win the stage the Jersey come from himself also uh so we will try again to to have

The win today mat malucelli finished second in Mariah last year and the Italian is hoping to go one better with his new outfit JCL team ukio it’s a little climb 800 M but uh I have a good uh memories from last year this year for sure I try to do my best I

I know the road I know the finish line and so it’s important for me I will see what happen what happened in the in the race there are others who will fancy their chances in this final opportunity for the fast men not Le the current race leader Casper Van Udin who already has

One stage win under his belt it’s a hard finish and if you yeah if you lose speed you’re screwed so uh yeah we have to you have to keep the speed and make sure you have enough speed coming into the last little Hill

So uh we do it once we can have a little look how the Bony Sprint will go and try to put our plan into place uh we raised through it last year so I recognize it from last year it looks beautiful but I think I have to do some more research after this

Stage today’s fourth stage will be a journey through the fascinating history of this region as the Riders not only set off from hegra but ride past it twice during the day weatherwise it was set to be a much easier day for the peltin with warm temperatures and no wind to speak of on

Paper it’s going to be a bunch Sprint next to Maria where an uphill drag will favor the punchier fast men the pelan will get a first look at it when they cross the line at the bonus Sprint with around 30k to Go breathtaking views to get the Riders underway today Feast your eyes on This an early attack by five Riders was promptly shut down but three other men managed to get up the road by the time the live pictures began ier Bono in the orange of escatel escardi and two Riders who already broke away on stage two Andreas miltiadis from the terang ganu

Cycling team and taged by our baton of RI Insurance three teams who’ve been jumping in the braks all week and targeting the most active Riders Jersey their Gap to the pelan was around 2 and A2 minutes with DSM feric post NL patrolling things for their leader van uden sudal quickstep also represented up

At the front at former Lea everyone clipping along at a decent average speed of around 45 km an hour now bat saon began the day with four points in the most active Rider competition and was targeting three more at the intermediate Sprint with 50k to go however bonillo have other ideas

The peleton slowly chipping away at the break’s Advantage as they approach Mariah for the first time you won’t be surprised to hear that Mariah means mirrors in Arabic this remarkable concert venue is the largest mirrored building in the world the break gearing up for the bonus Sprint then and bonillo was fastest once

Again taking 3 seconds and three more active Rider points the p wasn’t far behind and as vanan pointed out earlier this was a chance to wrecky the finish and start thinking about Sprint strategy well meanwhile miltiadis had decided to go solo at the front he is a nine-time champion of Cyprus in the

Individual time trial so he definitely has an engine on him Teran ganu man quickly putting around 30 seconds clear Billo and bats sidec were soon swallowed up by the surging peltin with DSM and sudal quick step still on the front so how long can one man hold off a

120 Rider peleton well basically until they decide to catch him especially on wide sweeping roads like these the different Sprint teams getting set for the likes of Malia van Udin we and scold decline Milano and Kaka but there were set to be some late Drama Oh crash right hand side big crash

Of a number of different Riders have hit the deck there and there’s a lot of riders Down henok Maham was one of the Riders to go down in that crash as the pelan caught up to miltiadis UAE Sprinter Juan Sebastian Milano also hit the deck and arid decline was held up so several contenders now out of commission the rest gearing up for the final spectacular Sprint shootout of this

Fourth edition now the Sprint goes look at Tim Malia what a burst of pace malier is looking for stage win number two tracked by Brian cckar but has merer got a pace to go all the way to the finish line here comes the Frenchman cocky is going to

Try and challenge him on the other side of the road is it going to be a victory for kofidis it’s a photo finish Kar celebrates but that looks like a Tim malier takes it Well Brian kochar may have celebrated on the line but once again it was Tim Malia who got the job done the Belgian going from a long way out and sustaining a tremendous effort for 300 M to just about get there ahead of the Frenchman that’s back-to-back wins for merer who

Also takes over the race lead I know uh I can do this this long effort um and I tried because I was in the Wind otherwise was also uh not possible anymore to win and uh yeah if you don’t try you can’t win so uh but I’m happy uh it was just

Enough on the Finish Brian he say he won but I was not sure and uh I’m happy is I’m in this in this seat now M doubling up ahead of poor old Kaka who had a Ry smile on his face after the Finish van uden plers and Luca mesg get

Rounding out the top five with waren scold in eighth malier goes top of the pile by 4 seconds from Van uden but the standings will be turned on their head tomorrow Finn fiser black and zavid formo are both inside the top 10 with Simon Yates also 27 seconds down in

15th Malia set to win the points classification after snaffling the red jersey from Van uden they’re both on 39 points but the Belgian leads thanks to his extra stage win the only points available tomorrow are at the Finish after the climb of hara wiid at Sushi OA reclaims the orange

Jersey after picking up a couple of points early in the day but it’s neck and neck but taon is also won eight points with polychronis toward sakis on seven van Udin retains the white jersey as the best young Rider but that classification is also set for a major shakeup

Tomorrow the spring will finally take a backseat in Saturday’s Fifth and final stage as the GC contenders battle for Glory up to the sky views of hara wiid it promises to be spectacular so join us then and thanks for watching
