Michael Matthews wins Swiss Tour stage 4

Michael Matthews wins Swiss Tour stage 4

The Race: Peter Sagan came close, oh so close. By coming in second today, he gained enough bonus time to be a fraction of a second behind Tom Dumoulin in the general classification. Dumoulin remains the overall leader.

The pure sprinters like Mark Cavendish were dropped on the succession of climbs, leaving the roadmen to fight it out for the race win. A series of breaks went and were caught and with a couple of kilometers to go, there were still forty riders left to duke out the sprint.

Peter Sagan led out the final rush, but Orica-GreenEdge's Michael Matthews timed things perfectly to come around Sagan and both take the stage win and rob Sagan of the few extra seconds of bonus time that would have given him the overall lead.
