After the long breakaway featuring young Italian Giosuè Epis (Arkéa - B&B Hotels), a fierce sprint decided the Glenelg / Victor Harbor stage, the fourth stage of the Tour Down Under 2025. At the conclusion of the 157 kilometers race, the 32-year-old French rider Bryan Coquard (Cofidis) conquered the victory narrowly beating German Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain – Victorious). Jhonatan Narváez (UAE Team Emirates – XRG) finished in third position and is now second in the General Classification, still led by Movistar's Spanish rider, yesterday's winner, Javier Romo. A new intervention by the Commissaires Panel is worth noting, which relegated Laurence Pithie (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe) from fourth to seventy-second place, identifying irregularities during the sprint.

Just after the flag dropped, two Dutch riders Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché – Wanty) and Ide Schelling (XDS Astana Team) escaped, followed by Giosuè Epis (Arkéa - B&B Hotels) and later joined by Swiss champion Mauro Schmid (Team Jayco AlUla) and Belgian Junior Lecerf (Soudal Quick-Step).

The quintet led the race by common agreement until eighty kilometers from the finish, when Lecerf decided to sit up and be caught by the peloton. Remaining four, the breakaway riders contested the Mountain Primes of Parawa Hill and Nettle Hill, both won by Schmid. The day's brave action concluded shortly after when the group, reduced to about fifty riders, caught Schmid and van der Hoorn, the last to surrender.

A battle of attacks and various attempts followed, which however did not prevent the sprinters from taking center stage and competing for the stage victory.
