Italian Danilo Napolitano finally got the sprint win he'd been trying for for two days in the Tour of Poland's fourth stage to Poznan, winning a dramatic finish which saw big crash that involved German speedster Gerold Ciolek (T-Mobile) and overnight leader Belgian Wouter Weylandt (Quick.step - Innergetic). Napolitano avoided the crash and took the sprint ahead of Lithuanian Thomas Vaitkus (Discovery Channel) and German Robert Förster (Gerolsteiner).

Just as in previous days, several attacks were attempted before the main break of the day was established. German Sebastian Lang (Gerolsteiner) together with Brazilian Murilo Fischer (Liquigas) quickly gained a nine minute lead by Debrzno at the 34 kilometre mark. Lang won the first intermediate sprint in Pila at km 94, while spectators had to wait for the main bunch a long 18 minutes.

Meanwhile on the streets of Pila there was several minutes of chaos when for some strange reasons private cars were allowed to enter the course just behind the leading breakaway. Fortunately by the time peloton came to the city order was restored. Young Frenchman Blaise Sonnery (Ag2r) was first from the bunch at the sprint. The only mountain points of the day were situated at km 108, and were taken by Fischer. He also won the remaining two intermediate sprints at Chodziez and Wagrowiec, allowing him to earn valuable bonus seconds towards reducing his 10 seconds deficit in the overall classification to Wouter Weylandt.

After the third intermediate sprint, the peloton began to chase in earnest, and in just some next 35 kilometers leaders' gap dropped from 10 minutes to 3'40 at Murowana Goslina at km 195. Then sprinters teams eased a bit just before Poznan allowing leading duo to enter the city on the front. When Fischer and Lang appeared on the finishing laps held around Lake Malta, they had still some 27 kms to cover and only two minutes advantage.

Finally, after braving more than 200-kilometers of leading the race, the pair's camera time was over with 13 kilometers to go, and it was time for the sprinters' team to put on the show. On the last lap riders from Lampre and Quick Step did majority of pacing with additional turns on the front by Milram and Gerolsteiner, and once the finishing straight was in sight, Napolitano was determined to five his team a win. He got fierce competition from T-Mobile's young sprint revelation Gerald Ciolek, who tried to overtake the Italian in the tight space close to the barriers. However, he quickly found out the hard way that there wasn't enough room for him to avoid the over-enthusiastic spectators whose outstretched hands spelled his doom. Ciolek tumbled, taking down quite a few riders as well.

Napolitano powered past the ensuing chaos and took the win, and as well, took enough bonus seconds to take the leader's jersey by just two seconds ahead of Weylandt. Ciolek was eventually taken for a medical check to hospital, but should by ready for a start tomorrow.

Thursday will hold the last flat stage of the race - another marathon stage from Wrzesnia to Swidnica, over a massive distance of 256 kilometers.
