Wout Poels (Team Sky) soloed to victory on the fourth stage of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, tightening his grip on the general classification with one stage remaining.
The Dutchman, wearing the leader's jersey after his opening-day time trial triumph, held off pressure from the Astana duo of Diego Rosa - who was third on GC at 22 seconds - and Fabio Aru on the steep final climb of Xorret de Caíi, before springing his own attack near the summit. He held off the chasers on the downhill couple of kilometres to the line, where his teammate Beñat Intxausti took second and Ion Izaguirre (Movistar) third, some 23 seconds back.
