Sergei Rudaskov from Russian continental team Itera-Katusha won the 170km fourth stage of UCI 2.2 stage race Grand Prix of Sochi in Nebug. Strong winds again challenged the peloton throughout the stage.
Rudaskov won the final sprint ahead of Bjorn Schroder (Nutrixxion Sparkasse) and Olexandr Sheydyk (ISD - Lampre Continental).
The win also netted Rudaskov the overall race lead. He will aim to defend that yellow jersey in the final stage on Sunday. Rudaskov has five seconds over Schroder and he leads the points classification.
