Back to 2014 Circuit de la Sarthe |

Thursday, April 10: Stage 4, Angers - Pre En Pail, 196.2 km

The Race: Lithuanian rider Ramunas Navadauskas won both the stage and the overall lead today. He had lots of help from his Garmin-Sharp teammates Rohan Dennis, Nathan Haas and Nathan Brown as they raced for the finish at the summit on Mont des Avaloirs. They had to snuff out a last-minute flyer by FDJ rider Francis Mourey.

Going into the final day, Navadauskas has a 17-second lead over teammate Rohan Dennis, who has a single-second gap over FDJ rider Anthoiny Roux.

The final stage tomorrow is hilly, so Garmin-Sharp can expect a hard day at the office defending the lead.
