May 07, 2016 (Luxembourg) – Canada’s Sean MacKinnon (Team RaceClean Canada) finished 7th on Stage 4 from Rosport to Echternach, 148.9km, as Sergio Sousa (Por) Team Vorarlberg took the win and the race lead. Adam Jamieson (Can) Team RaceClean Canada was 16th as MacKinnon is now 9th overall and captured the White Jersey as the Best Young Rider. Yesterday’s Stage 3 was cancelled due to a bad 30-rider crash at the 9km mark and luckily there were no severe injuries.

Cowan and Burtnik were involved as the peloton was descending a hill at 70kph with Cowan needing stitches for a cut in his leg along with a finger injury, while Burtnik suffered some road rash. But both riders were on today’s start line showing courage and team camaraderie.
