Secondo ieri dietro Zardini, oggi primo davanti a Timmer. Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma Quick Step) vince la quarta tappa del Giro di Gran Bretagna, da Worcester a Bristol di 184 km, e balza al comando della classifica generale che ora guida con 3” sul veronese Edoardo Zardini (Bardiani Csf). Il campione polacco della cronometro, e vincitore delle Strade Bianche, si è imposto su cinque compagni di fuga con i quali era evaso nelle battute finali della frazione. Buona la difesa di Zardini (19simo a 6”) al quale però non è riuscito di conservare la maglia gialla. Tra i migliori piazzati di giornata, Sonny Colbrelli (nono) a dimostrare che la condizione cresce.
