Stage 4 - May 24: Gunzenhausen-Schwabach, 187.4 km
Christian Wegmann (Saeco) has won the fourth stage of the Tour of Bavaria, beating Juergen Werner (Nürnberger) in a sprint finish that came after the two riders escaped earlier in the race, joining an attack mounted by Alexander Nikacevic (Alessio).
The trio's escape made Nikacevic a threat to Michael Rich's overall lead, and the Yugoslav was race leader on the road for a while. However, Rich's Gerolsteiner team organised the chase and by the finale the gap was down to just, 42 seconds, preserving Rich's overall lead for another day.
Wegmann was delighted with his win, telling reporters, "At last things are going well for me. I am very glad that I have found my form again after being ill. Today it went great!"
Behind the first trio, the bunch sprint was won by Erik Zabel to take fourth place. Zabel has had a fairly quiet tour so far, but demonstrated today that he still has the fast Zabel legs.
