Stage 4 - July 13: Gresten - Großraming, 144 km

Evans wins last stage, Homolka the overall

Cadel Evans (Mapei-Quick Step) showed an excellent return to form when he won the final and most difficult stage of the Uniqa Classic. The stage was 140 kilometres between Gresten and Großraming and included five mountain sprints (two of which were first category). Evans soloed in to beat Seweryn Kohut (De Nardi) by 19 seconds, with Hans Peter Obwaller (Arbö Merida Graz) taking third. The overall victory went to Czech rider Adam Homolka (Team Bikedrive) who overhauled Saeco's Christian Wegmann.

The stage was characterised by a long two man breakaway that gained a maximum advantage of 6 minutes. The main group, made up of approximately 35 riders, reacted during the last 40 kilometres to chase them down. At 18 kilometres to go, at the foot of the final mountain climb, Cadel Evans attacked, catching up with and leaving behind the two riders that were, up until that point leading the race, and carried on to cross the finish line in first place. The 25 year old Australian athlete, who did very well at the Giro d'Italia2002, beat Seweryn Kohut of the De Nardi-Pasta Montegrappa team and Obwaller of the Arbo-Merida team.
