Lennart Jasch (Tudor Pro Cycling) survived from the day-long breakaway to score the first professional win of his career on the challenging hilly fourth stage of the Tour of the Alps to Trento.
The 25-year-old German, a racer for Tudor’s development team but with the main squad this week, made the break 150km from the finish of the 168km stage. He proved the strongest from the five-man move, eventually going clear with 25km to go to solo home.

There was no big movement on GC during the stage, with all the top favourites coming in together in the group behind Jasch. Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) continues in the lead of the race with a four-second lead over Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) ahead of Friday’s closing queen stage.
Third-placed Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) moves level on time with his teammate after gaining two bonus seconds late in the stage, while Aleksandr Vlasov (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) jumps up a spot to fourth place at six seconds down after grabbing four bonus seconds in the same place.
