The Belgian-South African duo Schuermans/Reid once only wanted to compete for victory in the highest-paying stage two. Now they have already won their second stage. After the 107 kilometer long and not very selective route, the stage will be decided in a sprint. Louis-Bresler Knipe and Gert Heyns as well as Waylon Woolcock and Erik Kleinhans have to make do with the places of honor.

The Looser/Stewart duo did not have a good day. After around 30 kilometers, Looser flies into the rocks. An unforeseen blow to the rear wheel knocks the Swiss rider off course. In addition to pain all over his body, Looser also suffers a puncture. The first repair attempt fails, whereupon Swiss resident Thomas Holtkamp selflessly gives up his rear wheel. The leading team can then resume the chase. However, it was too late to catch up with the leaders and Looser and Stewart crossed the finish line in eighth place.

In the overall classification, the two lose practically all their reserves and are now only eight seconds ahead of the South Africans Waylon Woolcock and Erik Kleinhans. The stage winners Jens Schuermans and James Reid are still in third place, but have made up some time.

In the women's race, it is once again Ariane Kleinhans (SUI) and Annika Langvad (DEN) who are riding away from the competition. The two took a full twelve minutes off second-placed Jane Nüssli and Esther Süss. There is a change in third position. After their third place in the prologue, the South Africans Yolande Speedy and Yolande de Villiers were able to climb to third place on the podium in the third stage. The overall standings remain the same, except that the leading duo already have a lead of over 40 minutes.

The Swiss mixed duo of Michelle Hediger and Remigi Maissen fared better than the day before. The cross-country specialist and the BMC account manager put up a good fight and finished the stage in tenth place. In the overall standings, the duo Hediger/Maissen remain in twelfth place, but reduce the gap to the top ten.

The fourth stage from the NG Church Grounds in de Rust covers 70 kilometers and 1950 vertical meters to the finish line in Herold on the grounds of the Louvain Guest Farm. The relatively short stage challenges the participants' technical skills. In addition, there are 25 kilometers of steady climbing in the valley through the picturesque area of the Kammanassie Mountains.
