Victor Lafay's escape to victory in the fourth stage of Itzulia in the Basque Country, from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Zamudio of 185.6 km, ended one kilometer from the finish.

The Frenchman, after having been in advance from the start together with other riders, was reabsorbed by the group of the best who fought for the final success: Daniel Martinez of Team Ineos Grenadiers won the finish line (with his ninth career success) who in a spectacular sprint he preceded Julian Alaphilippe, once again beaten, and Diego Ulissi.

Primoz Roglic retains the leadership of the general classification.
