Deutschland Tour: Isaac del Toro seals overall title as Paul Magnier wins finale stage 4 in Heilbronn
Danny van Poppel second, Tim Torn Teutenberg third in final sprint
Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) sealed the overall victory at the Deutschland Tour on Sunday, and while he started the finale stage 4 with a hefty lead, he wasn't going to end the race without a fight.
The Mexican all-rounder, while wearing the leader's jersey, attacked in the final run-in to Heilbronn and gained a sizeable lead in pursuit of both stage victory and overall title.
However, his efforts ended when the charging peloton caught and passed him as they set up for a bunch sprint won by Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep).
Magnier took the stage 4 victory ahead of Danny van Poppel (Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe) and Tim Torn Teutenberg (Lidl-Trek).
Del Toro rode away with the overall victory in the four-day race, 53 seconds ahead of runner-up Louis Barré (Visma-Lease a Bike) and 1:08 ahead of third-placed Marc Hirschi (Tudor Pro Cycling).
The final stage of the Lidl Deutschland Tour was 156.5km in Heilbronn with one categorised ascent at the start and three punchy climbs, Jägerhaus (2.1km), in the last 50km located one per finishing circuit.
With 50km to go, a breakaway of five included Dominik Röber (Team Vorarlberg), Ian Kings (Visma-Lease a Bike Development), Miguel Heidemann (REMBE-rad-net) and Ben Felix Jochum (Lotto Kern-Haus Outlet Montabaur). They held 25 seconds over the pair of Ko Molenaar (Development Team Picnic PostNL) and Lennart Voege (Storck-MRW Bau), who were part of the initial move but struggled to hang on to their breakaway companions.

The peloton remained roughly a minute and a half behind, but as the race headed into the hills on the three finishing circuits, the gap dropped to just 20 seconds, and the breakaway was reduced to just three riders: King, Heidemann and Jochum.
The trio pushed their lead out to 35 seconds at the start of the last lap, but their efforts appeared doomed with UAE Team Emirates-XRG towing the peloton for their leader Del Toro.
Heading into the last time over Jägerhaus, the break held a slim 10 seconds, but the field was all back together at the base of the 2.1km climb.
Over the top, Del Toro, Barré and Mathias Vacek (Lidl-Trek) opened a gap, but on the run-in to the finish it was Del Toro who was alone, wearing the leader's jersey, and in pursuit of the final stage victory and overall title.
His overall victory was never in doubt, but the stage win wasn't meant to be as the field caught him on the run-in to the finish line.
