Today's stage left the Saronsberg Wine Estate and traveled 120 km to the town of Wellington. The route took riders over Bain's Kloof Pass, with a beautiful view of the valley they were about to descend into to make their way to Wellington.
Stage 4 was conquered by Mike Hogan in 5 hours and 46 minutes. This would have placed him 11th in the stage and 10th in the general classification.
Team Burry Stander - Songo took the stage win today, but this time it was the Bulls teams that went off course. At the top of Bain's Kloof Pass, Kulhavy and Sauser lead by about 3 minutes above the chase group, which consisted of team Bulls and Team Bulls 2, as well as Team Multivan Merida. The chase group was lead off course by signs that had been posted for tomorrow's course. Team Burry Stander - Songo won the stage by 13 minutes over the second place team, but the riders who went off course lost by about 22 minutes. This moves Team Burry Stander - Songo the yellow overall jersey, and they will start tomorrow's stage with about a 13 minute buffer on their lead.
