Elia Viviani outsprints Mathews and Sagan to take Stage 4 Win
Wearing the jersey of the Italian national champion Elia Viviani (Deceuninck-QuickStep) celebrated his first stage victory of the Tour de Suisse at Arlesheim. Peter Sagan (BORA-hansgrohe) finished 3rd and defended his leader's jersey.
30 km from the finish the spectators were startled by a crash. A rider from Astana and Geraint Thomas (Team Ineos) were on the ground. The Welshman, who was preparing on the Swiss roads to defend his 2018 Tour de France triumph, was forced to withdraw and head to a hospital for further medical clarification. The hope is that the Welshman did not suffer serious injuries..
"The last climb to Eichberg was more difficult for me than the final sprint. When I came up with the field, I knew that victory was possible for me, " said Viviani in Arlesheim. The Italian was piloted by his team mate Michael Mörkov setting him up for the win. Viviani will participate in the Tour de France for the second time in his career and hopes to take over the Maillot jaune at the end of Stage 1 in Brussels.
After relying on his team mates for early part of the stage, Sagan (3rd) was alone at the end. Michael Matthews (Team Sunweb)launched his sprint late, passing a fading Sagan to take second.
As on Monday it was again a quartet, which attacked early on the 163.9 km stage from Murten to Arlesheim. Robin Carpenter (Rally UHC), Simon Geschke (CCC Team), Taco Van der Hoorn (Jumbo-Visma) and Gian Friesecke (Team Switzerland) managed to break away from the field. Friesecke attacked alone in the final km's but was caught on the final descent.
