Mark Cavendish ha sido el más rápido en la 4ª etapa del Tour of Britain (Vuelta a Gran Bretaña), ya en Gales -Stoke-on-Trent-Llanberis, sobre 188 kilómetros-, en un nuevo sprint para el corredor del Omega, superando en esta ocasión al italiano Elia Viviani (Cannondale) -primer líder- y al australiano Steele Van Hoff (Garmin), mientras que José Joaquín Rojas (Movistar) ha sido quinto y primer español.
Por el maillot de la montaña que ostenta desde la jornada del lunes peleó Ángel Madrazo –que no renovará con Movistar- que se filtró por segunda ocasión en la fuga del día y pasó en cabeza por los dos primeros altos, Groes y Llansannan (ambos de 2ª categoría). Con casi dos minutos de ventaja en el último de los ascensos, Pen-y-Pass (2ª), a una docena de kilómetros del final, el cántabro se implicó en los ataques por la victoria y se vio con posibilidades hasta los últimos 1.500 metros, cuando un pelotón tirado por OPQS y Garmin acabó con sus esperanzas, como informa el conjunto de Jaimerena.
Bradley Wiggins (Sky) mantiene su liderato por segundo día consecutivo tras su victoria en la contrarreloj de ayer.
Mañana jueves, quinta etapa, enteramente por territorio galés: 177 kilómetros entre Machynlleth y Caerphilly con dos cotas de 1ª categoría en un complicado circuito final.
