Stage 4 - July 29: Saalfeld - Schmölln, 86.5 km

Rossner wins sprint after ferocious stage.

Bleak conditions did not deter the peloton's intent on shaking up the overall classification. An aggressive start, with 47 km covered in the first hour, the bunch starting to break into pieces down the back.

After yesterday's moves on the overall, the Norwegians and Aussies wanted some more action, trying to tire race leader Karpenko before the afternoon time trial. Karpenko looked in trouble at 10km remaining in the stage, and just held onto the main group.

The only major change overall was Rasa Polikeviciute, who had wheel trouble approximately 10km to go, losing 1 min 20 sec and dropping to 6th overall behind Juanita Feldhahn.
