Magnier is unbeatable: 4/4 at the Tour of Guangxi

Paul Magnier (Soudal QuickStep) wins stage four of the Tour of Guangxi, from Bama to Jinchengjiang   (176.8km).

Today's stage also didn't leave much room for breakaways or attacks: 7 men attempted the day's adventure in the early stages, but were caught with 10 km to go, with Dewulf the last to give up.

Behrens also tries in the finale, but is also absorbed by the group launching at high speed towards the final sprint. Groupama and Jayco try to set up a sprint on a very wide straight, but, as always, Magnier comes out with perfect timing and passes everyone from the center of the road. Bittner is 2nd, Meeus 3rd.
