• Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini just behind

Australia’s Grace Brown claimed her first Women’s Tour stage victory and the overall lead with two days to go after a sprint finish in Welshpool.

Brown, riding for FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope, was part of a three-rider surge at the end of the 144.8km fourth stage from Wrexham. She held off the challenge of Elisa Longo Borghini, who, despite making a break for the line, finished third behind Poland’s Kasia Niewiadoma.
