Fernando Gaviria (Quick-Step Floors) won stage four of the Tour of Britain, holding off Elia Viviani (Team Sky), Alexander Kristoff (Katusha-Alpecin), and Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo) in another tight bunch sprint finish.

Gaviria has been fairly quiet so far in the Tour of Britain but delivered on an excellent lead-out effort by team-mate Maximiliano Richeze on the stage to Newark-on-Trent.
