HUTTWIL, Switzerland (AP) — World champion Thor Hushovd won the fourth stage of the Tour of Switzerland on Tuesday, and Damiano Cunego of Italy retained the overall lead.

Italy’s Marco Marcato won a mass sprint for third place, trailing Hushovd by two seconds.

Cunego retained his 54-second lead overall ahead of Colombian Juan Mauricio Soler.

The fifth stage Wednesday is a 130-mile route from Huttwil to Tobel-Taegerschen.
