[00:00:00]Stage four in the page completely blew the race apart. The queen stage was first shortened because of bad weather, then shortened again after crashes and unsafe conditions in the finale. [music] Out of that chaos came Jakob Soderqvist.

[00:00:15]The Swede had made the early break, attacked on the steep climb, won the stage solo, and [music] ripped the yellow jersey away from the favorites.

[00:00:24]By the end of the day, he led Kuzmin by 40 seconds and Luke Plapp by 52, suddenly putting himself right [music] on the edge of overall victory.

[00:00:34]Soderqvist was looking good on the road in the final [music] test, but crashed, meaning he faced a fight to keep the jersey. In the end, he survived, and May lead added another victory, and Lidl Trek's 22-year-old TT star became a GC winner for the first time.
