Taihu Lake: Chtioui handed stage 4 win after Zhao penalised

Tunisian champion Rafaâ Chtioui (Skydive Dubai) was declared the winner of stage 4 of the 2015 Tour of Taihu Lake. It was 2014 Chinese national champion Zhao Jingbiao from Hengxiang that crossed the line first but only after he benefited from a flying relay by his team-mate Wang Meiyin. The commissaires panel opted for a soft sanction of 30 seconds penalty to each of the offenders. Jakub Mareczko (Southeast) retained the overall lead ahead of the queen stage over Maoshan Mountain.
