Paul Magnier once again capitalised off of a perfect Soudal-QuickStep lead-out to secure a second victory on stage 4 at the Tour of Britain.
Magnier came off the wheels of his teammates Remco Evenepoel and Julian Alaphilippe to take the sprint win ahead of Ethan Vernon (Israel-Premier Tech) and Erlend Blikra (Uno-X Mobility) in Newark-on-Trent.
Overall race leader Stephen Williams (Israel-Premier Tech) finished safely in the peloton after leading out his teammate Vernon to a second place on the day.
Williams continues to lead the race by 16 seconds ahead of runner-up Oscar Onley (DSM-firmenich PostNL) and 40 seconds ahead of third-placed Mark Donovan (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) as the race heads into the penultimate stage 5 in Northampton on Saturday.
