The fourth stage was won by France’s Stephane
Rossetto at the end of an impressive 174-km breakaway, 120 of
them solo.
Van Avermaet, whose season has been under par, came home second,
37 seconds off the pace after dropping overnight leader Magnus
Cort Nielsen of Denmark.
Overall, he beat Spain’s Eduard Prades Reverter by nine seconds
and defending champion Serge Pauwels of Belgium, who ended up 14
seconds off the pace.
The riders started in Beverley on Thursday and traveled around
Yorkshire before concluding at the Headrow in Leeds.
