Mathieu van der Poel (Alepcin-Deceuninck) soloed to the stage 4 victory at the Baloise Belgium Tour. The Dutchman made a late-race attack and held onto a 16-second lead to cross the finish line alone in Durbuy and extend his lead in the overall classification. 

Thibau Nys (Trek-Segafredo) jumped ahead of the chasing group to finish second on the day, while Casper Pedersen (Soudal-QuickStep) was third.
