Paul Magnier puts his signature on the fourth and final stage of the Lidl Deutschland Tour, the Heilbronn - Heilbronn 156.5 km route. The French sprinter from Soudal Quick Step prevailed in a chaotic finale in which Isaac Del Toro attempted a solo attack that, however, came to nothing right at the finish line. Magnier beat Dutchman Van Poppel of Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe and Teutenberg of Lidl Trek, with Edoardo Zambanini of Bahrain Victorious closing in fifth place.

Isaac Del Toro, for his part, sealed the Tour of Germany: for the Mexican this marks his 32nd professional victory.

THE RACE. The breakaway of the day was fueled by Ian Kings (Visma Lease a Bike Devo), Miguel Heidemann (Rembe RadNet) and Ben Felix Jochum (Team Lotto Kern-Haus Outlet Montabaur). Their move was neutralized 15 km from the finish, then Louis Barre of Visma Lease a Bike gave it a try and shortly after came the attack from Isaac Del Toro who dropped all his rivals on the Jägerhaus. The Mexican's move ran out of steam near the finish line, then fellow Mexican Cadena tried his luck and then it came down to a sprint...
