00:00 [CROWD CHEERING]
00:04 Serrano is setting this up for his teammate, Rodriguez.
00:07 It's Rodriguez now who's emerging as the leader of the Movistar team,
00:11 as Dylan Turns now opens up his sprint.
00:12 Tom Pidcock alongside him.
00:13 Fraele gritting his teeth, but Dylan Turns is looking to try and grab those bonus seconds at the top.
00:18 Pidcock, can he sprint off that pace, or is Turns just going to hold on all the way to the top of the sprint?
00:24 Here comes Rodriguez, hunting for points now.
00:27 Rodriguez alongside Dylan Turns, and I think he's going to take them.
00:31 Tom Pidcock battling on, holding on for second place.
00:35 But this is dragging it away again.
00:36 This is turning into a breakaway.
00:37 If they can just keep this going over the top, there's a gap behind.
00:41 Omar Fraele's on there.
00:42 Look, there's a gap being created.
00:43 There's a breakaway again.
00:44 It's Serrano, actually, from Movistar.
00:46 So Serrano it was, who takes those three points.
00:48 And Tom Pidcock on his wheel, Dylan Turns, and then Omar Fraele and these four riders getting away.
00:53 Fraele's not going to hesitate.
00:54 He's going to go straight to the front.
00:55 He knows his job now is to absolutely destroy himself for Pidcock.
00:59 This is it. No hesitation.
01:01 This is his job now.
01:03 Very, very hard to pick a winner from these three, isn't it, David?
01:05 It really is.
01:07 It really is, and especially on the finish.
01:08 But the way Serrano dominated that sprint...
01:10 He would be favourite.
01:11 I would put him as favourite.
01:12 Yeah.
01:14 Well, they've got enough time in the bank now to be toying not just for the stage win between them,
01:17 but also for the leaders' jersey.
01:20 So that was just that little look.
01:21 Omar Fraele now is going to lead out.
01:23 He's going to just not let this brake slow down,
01:25 and he's going to take it as far as he can up to the finish line.
01:28 Through the final kilometre then.
01:30 - Pidcock chops back. - Omar Fraele on the front.
01:31 Yeah.
01:32 But don't forget, Omar Fraele is a GC player as well.
01:35 He's the best placed of all these riders on GC.
01:38 Pidcock, though, dropping back onto the wheels of Dylan Turns,
01:40 forcing Gonzalo Serrano to chase down Omar Fraele.
01:43 Yeah, that was a brilliant move from Pidcock.
01:45 - Really smart. - He knows I couldn't let him go.
01:47 So he's just dropped back and got himself in the driving seat for the sprint.
01:51 Yeah, what a great teammate.
01:52 Oscar Fraele is to have for Tom Pidcock here.
01:54 Now, Canino's Grenadiers, who've been frustrated so far on the first three stages,
01:58 finally ride to victory at their home tour.
02:01 Tom Pidcock on the back of this group of four.
02:03 Fraele will take this as close to the line as he can.
02:06 Pidcock picking his moment, waiting, seeing what's happening in front of him.
02:09 Gonzalo Serrano looking at Fraele's body language.
02:12 How much deeper is Fraele going to go into this stage?
02:15 When are they going to start to sprint?
02:16 It looks like Dylan Turns is winding it up.
02:18 Gonzalo Serrano about to come off the wheel of Fraele.
02:22 Fraele then holding on.
02:23 Pidcock trying to get round them.
02:25 Gonzalo Serrano on the front.
02:27 Serrano pushing for the line.
02:28 Serrano, is he going to hold off Pidcock?
02:30 Here comes Pidcock with a charge.
02:31 Pidcock alongside him.
02:33 Pidcock just about there, but not quite.
02:37 Serrano takes the win.
02:39 This is close.
02:40 Gets closer and closer with each pedal stroke.
02:43 And there we go. Yeah, it's a clear victory for Serrano in the end.
02:47 Hard finish.
02:48 That camera angle doesn't do it justice.
02:50 It's a drag all the way to the line.
02:52 And after the day of racing they've had, that's a really tough finish.
02:55 Turns quite comfortably beaten into third place.
02:58 Serrano the winner of stage four.
03:01 and...
