Stage 4 photos | stage 4 map and profile |

Rated ascents:

• Km 117.6: Benken, Category 4
• Km 145.2: Benken, Category 4

The Race: With just two ascents of the fourth-category Benkin on today's menu, the sprinters will want to make sure this opportunity doesn't get away.

The day's break, Daniel Teklehaimanot (MTN-Qhubeka) and Laurens de Vreese (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), were clear by the 20th kilometer. The pack gave them some room, but not too much. 100 kilometers into the stage the duo had four minutes.

Omega Pharma did a lot of the work of bringing de Vreese and Teklehaimanot back to the pack and with ten kilometers remaining, they had been reeled in.

As the sprinters got set to race into a headwind, it was Lampre rider Sacha Modolo who went first. But Mark Cavendish opened a big can of whoopass and left everyone behind to win the stage.

Tony Martin finished safely to keep his GC lead, making a fabulous day for Omega Pharma-Quick Step. They got to have the stage win and keep the overall lead.

Matthew Harley Goss at the start.

Bauke Mollema. His team was told today that Belkin would not renew its sponsorship for 2015 and so the scramble to find another sponsor for the Dutch team is on.

Looks like a nice day to go racing in Switzerland.

Yet another shot of the peloton racing across the countryside

Bradley Wiggins is not having a good Tour of Switzerland. He was informed he was not on the Sky Tour de France squad, he finished well after Peter Sagan won yesterday's stage (he has a chest infection) and today he crashed. One can hope things go better for him from here.

Mark Cavendish with Sacha Modolo on his wheel.

So far, Tony Martin doesn't seem to have made any mistakes.

Fabian Cancellara is currently sitting in 155th place, about a half-hour down.

When Mark Cavendish is on form, he is just about unbeatable.

Tony Martin will spend another day in yellow.
