Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco–AlUla) seized his first win of 2025 on stage 4 of the Tour of Hongrie in a sprint finish where he beat Danny van Poppel (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe) into second, and Tim Torn Teutenberg (Lidl–Trek) in third.
Groenewegen initially seemed lost in the final sprint approach. His leadout was well led by Luka Mezgec (Team Jayco AlUla), but Groenewegen was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he followed the wheel of Jules Hesters (Team Flanders - Baloise), who capably delivered to the front of the peloton, while fellow sprint contender Juan Sebastián Molano (UAE Team Emirates) found himself boxed in.
