The Brabançon once more demonstrated his good form, but Alaphilippe did not take advantage of it.
Like the day before, Julian Alaphilippe came very close to victory at the end of the 4th stage of the Tour of the Basque Country won in Zamudio by Daniel Martinez. But if the Frenchman had been overwhelmed by Bilbao on Wednesday, this time he did not miss much to come and jump, on the line, the Colombian from Ineos who had anticipated the sprint of the double world champion.
