Neve Bradbury finishes stage four of the Lotto Thüringen Ladies Tour, maintaining her lead in the youth classification. Neve finished in the main peloton, just 30 riders strong, that crossed the line 19 seconds behind a three-rider breakaway that swept up the podium places.

“My goal today was to try and maintain my position on GC. I dropped to seventh but still remain the U23 leader,” said Neve.

“The final kilometre was full on because the peloton was chasing the breakaway hard. I tried to keep a good position and make sure there were no gaps to anyone in the group.”

Neve is now seventh in the general classification, at +47 seconds and leads the youth classification by 8 seconds.
