Report:

Stage 4 went to French rider Yoann Le Boulanger who mounted an audacious attack with 3 other rides - American Floyd Landis (Mercury), French rider Stéphane Krafft (Cofidis) and Austrian Patrick Riedesser (Austria). They were never caught although only Landis could stay with Boulanger. He took over the leader's jersey as a result.
