Mathieu van der Poel <\/a>(Alpecin-Premier Tech<\/a>) blasted to victory on stage four of Tirreno-Adriatico <\/a>in a 500 metre rush to the line to take his second stage win of the race.<\/p>\n

The final metres of the Italian race saw Jan Christen (UAE Emirates-XRG) make an early push to the front of the leading pack, before Filippo Ganna<\/a> (Ineos Grenadiers<\/a>) slipped ahead on his left. But the Italian couldn\u2019t hold the lead for long, as Van der Poel<\/a> accelerated forwards in a seemingly effortless display of dominance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Dutchman was followed by Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe<\/a>) in second and Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X<\/a> Mobility) in third.<\/p>\n

Pellizzari has also taken the general classification lead from Isaac Del Toro<\/a> (UAE Emirates-XRG) and will tackle stage five in the white jersey of the overall race leader. The pair are currently separated by two seconds.<\/p>\n

The race followed a 213km route from Tagliacozzo to Martinsicuro via snow-capped mountains and a decisive final 60km sprinkled with short, sharp climbs.<\/p>\n

An impressive early break that included Tibor Del Grosso, (Alepcin-Premier Tech) Liam Slock (Lotto Intermarch\u00e9), and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility) took an early lead that climbed to over three minutes, growing on the downhill of the first – and highest – climb of the day.<\/p>\n

The final kilometres of the race were dominated by the biggest dames, with Van der Poel, Wout van Aert<\/a> (Visma-Lease a Bike<\/a>), Ganna, Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and Ben Healy (EF Education EasyPost) all following Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) into the straight seaside drag to the finish line.<\/p>\n
