C’est l’Irlandais Dan Martin (Garmin Sharp) qui a remporté la 4ème étape du Tour de Pékin (Tour of Beijing) , entre Yanqing et le sommet de Mentougou Miaofeng. Au terme des 157km, il devance Esteban Chaves (Orica-GreenEdge) et Philippe Gilbert (BMC). C’est la 2ème victoire consécutive du team Garmin Sharp sur ce tour de Pékin après celle de Farrar hier.
Tout s’est joué dans la montée final où Hesjedal (Garmin) place une attaque foudroyante. Le peloton explose et c’est finalement Ricarod Zoidl qui tente de chercher le Canadien avec Pieter Sierry dans sa roue. Le peloton n’est plus composé que d’une vingtaine de coureurs dont le leader Philippe Gilbert, bien protégé par Samuel Sanchez qui jette toutes ces forces pour garder le maillot du général.
Le duo est repris à 2,5 km du finish, Hesjedal résiste mais il sera rejoint quelques mètres plus loin. Sous la banderole du km, c’est Dan Martin qui allume sa mèche, il part seul mais Esteban Chavés part à sa poursuite avec Gilbert et Rui Costa dans sa roue. Barguil, Moreno, Nocentini et Uran perdent du terrain et ne peuvent suivre le ryhtme imposé par Chavez pour tenter de récupérer Martin.
Au final, Dan Martin l’emporte avec 2sec d’avance sur le Colombien Johan Esteban Chaves Rubio et Philippe Gilbert.
Au général, le maillot de leader est menacé puisque Dan Martin se place 2ème à 3sec . Le Breton Warren Barguil se classe 6ème au général à 23 sec de Gilbert.
