Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) scored a stunning fourth consecutive victory at the Tour of Slovakia, bringing him up to a total of ten victories for the season. Slovakian national champion Lukáš Kubiš (Unibet Tietema Rockets) finished second for the fourth consecutive stage in a bunch sprint finish on stage 4 of the Okolo Slovenska. Lotto’s Milan Menten finished in third place, rounding out the podium for the second time this week.
With his perfect record intact, Magnier adds another ten bonus seconds to his race lead, taking him 19 seconds clear of Kubiš in second on the GC. He retains the yellow leader’s jersey heading into the fifth and final stage which will define the general classification.
