Flot etapesejr til hollandsk talent

Det hollandske stortalent, Robert Gesink, vandt 4. etape af Belgien Rundt som blev betragtet som løbets kongeetape. Rabobank rytteren er bare 21 år, men satte samtlige konkurrenter på det bakkede terræn fra Herzele til Aywaille.

Discovery Channel med den førende Vladimir Gusev på holdet var hele dageni kontrol og den russiske rytter forsvarede derved flot sin samlede føring med en ottendeplads på etapen.
