Stage 4 - September 21: Emmenbrücke - Safenwil , 124.8 km
Australian team report
By Brian Stephens, AIS U23 manager
Today's stage of the GP Tell was from Emmenbrucke to Safenwill over undulating terrain and in cool but dry conditions. The finish circuit was pretty tough and the peloton was in an aggressive mood all day. As a result the field blew apart over the final 30km. Simon Gerrans, aided by the team, was able to maintain his GC position by finishing in the front group of about 25 riders. The stage was won by tour leader, Gregory Rast, from Switzerland.
