The breakaway made it to the line by inches to sprint for the win on Sunday's final stage of the Baloise Ladies Tour. Jelena Eric (Movistar) took the victory after launching her sprint in the final 400 metres and won stage 4 by less than a tyre width in Deinze. Femke De Vries (GT Krush RebelLease) was second on the day and Alice Maria Arzuffi (Ceratizit-WNT) claimed third.

Sprinting from the chasing peloton, Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) crossed the line safely in fourth place and won the overall with a 24-second lead on Norsgaard. Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma) finished third in the general classification, tied on time with Emma Norsgaard (Movistar).
